Telehealth services are a way that LifeCare Home Care is able to accurately assess a client’s health using on-line technology from a person’s home. The equipment which can be installed to any phone line, automatically prompts the user when it’s time to record vital signs such as blood pressure, weight, pulse, and oxygen levels and can be used by people with diabetes to monitor blood sugars levels. The telehealth equipment is also able to provide reminders to help clients keep track of their medical appointments and other important events.

This remote monitoring is helpful when assessing a variety of chronic conditions including congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, coronary artery disease, diabetes, and hypertension. It may also be used by a person in need of close monitoring following discharge from an emergency room visit, hospitalization, or nursing home.
