Many people normally make the transition to assisted living or nursing homes, once it becomes appropriate for them to have more care, when mobility decreases, frailty begins or when it becomes unsafe for them to live independently at home any longer.
However, during these Covid times, new resident admissions to care facilities and communities are declining, because people are worried about the safety and experience of transitioning from their own home, into a community or facility permanently, in the midst of the Pandemic. We hear reports of “failure to thrive” due to Covid restrictions, higher risk levels for catching the virus, and mandatory resident isolations with no-visitor policies, aimed at reducing the spread of the virus. This does not make the prospect of transitioning into a facility very attractive.
If family members are not able to help full time, and the expense of live-in care is too much, there is another option to bridge the time between now and the end of the pandemic.
Remaining at home may be possible with the right assistive and safety equipment, but without proper equipment planning and provision, the elderly are at risk of having to enter into care for their physical wellbeing, regardless of the current pandemic.
This means that now more than ever, having the right assistive medical devices in place at home is necessary to maintain independence safely, for longer. Nobody wants to have to be admitted against their will, just to keep them “safe”.
Immersus at Home is a Nationwide Medical Equipment and assistive device program designed to cater to private pay individuals who need help and advice selecting appropriate assistive medical equipment, that can help to meet the goals of safety, independence and comfort, and to facilitate living at home for longer. This phone-based concierge service means that no internet browsing or outdoor shopping is required.
Immersus at Home offers a selection of basic items such as canes, walkers and rollators at competitive prices, as well as mobility products like wheelchairs, scooters and transport chairs, and assistive devices like lift chairs, recliners, electric hospital beds, and specialty mattresses and seat/back cushions.
We have geared the selection process to elders who do not want to visit a DME store, or have to navigate online. Instead, we have a dedicated customer care phone line, with english speaking agents, right here in the USA. Our experienced agents work with the caller, whether it is the customer themselves, or a family member, to gather information and help identify key safety, independence and comfort goals, and then guide the consumer to choices for the most appropriate product selection.
Choosing the right product, or even understanding what products are available, is difficult for most elders to do online, or even in a store. We make it simple, by only presenting options and choices for products that really matter, and that will make a difference.
Payment options are as simple and user friendly as possible, and can be made using credit card or by mail-in check. We realize that our customers like to shop the old fashioned way, and that respect and customer service is key, so we offer to deliver products directly to the customer themselves, or to use our “white-glove” service for more complex product set-ups and installations. Sometimes its just comforting to have someone else to take care of things completely.
Immersus At Home is available now throughout the contiguous USA
