Services

Even though hospital sitters provide non-medical assistance, they play an instrumental role in providing insights about the health condition of the patient to the medical staff, and as well as provide assistance, comfort and safety to the patient. Services are determined by the complexity of your or a loved one’s medical needs; can be schedule for periodic check ups or 24/7 supervision, and are suitable for all types of hospital patients, from children to seniors.

Areas of service: We can assign you or a loved one with a hospital sitter in any hospital in South Florida as long as you or a loved one is a current resident of Palm Beach or Broward. Here’s a full list of cities we serve.

Services include but not limited to:

Fall Prevention
For some individuals, a fracture can lead to other serious health problems such as injury or even disability. Our caregivers are trained to prevent falls by keeping the environment safe, and providing mobility assistance.
Health Vitals Monitoring
Measuring the patient's basic functions, physical & mental health, and overall vitals can provide valuable insights into their condition, and progress.
Companionship
Bedridden patients at hospitals tend to spend a considerable amount of time in solitude, this can have a negative effect on the patient's mental being. Our caregivers cultivate meaningful relationships with their patients to ensure that they do not feel alone during their stay at the hospital.
Self Care & Feeding
Some individuals may have limited independency and lack the ability for self-care, making the hospital stay harder than necessary. Our services include hygiene care, feeding, and keeping you or a loved one warm.

Natalie L., Ph.D.

Before Natalia Powell had her own agency, Royal Oaks Home Care, she had come to my attention because of her excellent reputation as an experienced caregiver among people in my mother’s community. She was universally recommended by many of my mother’s friends. Since Natalia is so busy running her own agency, she is less available in that capacity than she had been in the past. However, while I was looking for high quality help for my mother last year, she assisted me on numerous occasions, and it became clear to me why she is so highly regarded. Natalia is an exceptionally responsible, hard-working, compassionate person. She is constantly busy when she is working, and is not the type that would ever feel comfortable sitting around. I always felt that my mother was completely safe in Natalia’s competent hands. It has also become apparent to me that she expects the same high standards from the people she hires as caregivers in her agency. Natalia put me in touch with a caregiver, who has been working with my mom and is an extremely adept caregiver. I feel equally secure leaving my mom in her capable hands. Like Natalia, the caregiver is diligent, experienced, conscientious, and caring. I am deeply grateful to have had these two skilled, trustworthy people working with my beloved mother.

Having your caregiver help my mom at her assisted living facility has been blessing. I would highly recommend Natalia and Royal Oaks Home Care to anyone who needs help.

Irina K.

I want to thank you for the time you spent with my aunt in the past three months. You were always courteous and understanding. There was never any questioning but always a genuine willingness to help. You were always punctual and concerned about her health and I appreciate everything you done. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Natalia from Royal Oaks provided care for my Dad’s significant other before she passed and is now providing care for my Dad. While many agencies can provide care, it’s Natalia’s caring about the people she works for that sets her apart. With my Dad in FL, and all his kids living in MA, it’s comforting to know Natalia is in my Dad’s life.

    Why Royal Oaks Home Care?

    Being admitted to the hospital can be a challenging experience for everyone involved. When you or a loved one is hospitalized, a specialized caregiver may be required to accompany the patient, whether part time or 24/7, to ensure safety and comfort, and as well as provide all the necessary services as requested by the doctor or nurse. Hospital sitters are very helpful for hospital patients who lack independence and require part time or 24/7 assistance and supervision; they provide non-medical care and ensure that you or a loved one is under careful supervision.

    We care about the growing needs of our patients for personalized hospital sitter care, especially during these times of uncertainty. We stand by our belief that the only way to truly feel comfortable with a hospital sitter is when they are a friend first, and a service provider second. We put all of our focus on 100% transparency, problem solving, relationship nurturing, and professional caregiving services. Our client first approach and comprehensive care allows us to optimize the wellbeing of our patients and bring joy, energy, and independence to their lives.

    The qualities that make our competent caregivers

    As with any professional career in the health care field, there are certain key attributes that make one best suited for their role. We believe the following attributes are essential for hospital sitters:

    • Effective communication: Communication is a corner stone in any care-plan that involves hospital observation – arguably in any field in the health care industry. Our caregivers are experts in communicating the right information at the right time to the right person.
    • Observation skills: The smallest details can make the biggest difference when staying at the hospital for long periods of time. Our caregivers are trained to fully understand what, when, and why certain things operate the way they do.
    • Patience: Caring for another human being is a very difficult mission that requires hours of care, empathy, and most importantly: Patience.
    • Auxiliary medical skills: Even though hospital sitters provide non-medical assistance, knowing how to provide medical skills should there be an emergency can potentially save lives. Our caregivers are fully certified CNA, HHA, and posses various types of certificates such as CPR.
    • Empathy: Compassion and possessing the ability to read another being’s needs and wants is at the core of a hospital sitter. One must be able to not only understand how the patient feels, thinks and wants, but also to place themselves in their shoes to truly understand they gravity of their situation.
    • Flexibility: Keeping up with a flexible schedule and providing services on a as-needed basis is essential in ensuring that all patients are cared for at all times.

    How to get started

    1. Initial consultation call: After we receive your information, a case manager will contact you within 12 hours to provide over-the-phone assistance and to schedule an assessment in person at home or in a hospital where you or your loved one is currently/planning to stay.
    2. In-home/hospital assessment: We’ll discuss your or your loved one’s needs and review all necessary medical documents and notes and determine the level of care needed moving forward; we will tailor a home health care plan for you or a loved one.
    3. Assigning caregiver & case manager: We will assign a caregiver for you or your loved one and as well as a dedicated case manager to provide an extra layer of service assurance and provide assistance whenever needed.
    4. Beginning of care: Once care is started, we will constantly monitor and periodically re-asses the care plan to determine if we need to adjust any of the services offered by the caregiver.
