Peninsula Home Care – Thursday, March 26, 2015

Peninsula Home Care is changing the way we treat sick people by keeping them out of hospitals. Robyn Coughenour explains the importance of hiring nurses with experience in hospitals and that have the ability to take care of patients independently. This way, they can ensure that the nurses will have good judgement and know how to best treat the company’s patients.

Through the use of telehealth, the company is able to monitor patients online and keep track of their readings without physically being with them.

Peninsula Home Care uses equipment specialized for the treatment of diabetes, COPD, breathing problems, and IV therapies.

Coughenour emphasizes the importance of patients being able to stay in an environment with which they are comfortable: being surrounded by people they are familiar with and being able to eat and sleep when they want to.
