  • ABI RESOURCES | THE FUTURE OF HOME HEALTHCARE | CT MFP ABI WAIVER

    The Future of Home Health. It is difficult to predict exactly what the future of home healthcare will look like, but it is likely that technology will play a significant role in the delivery of home healthcare services. Some possible developments in the field of home healthcare include: Virtual visits : Healthcare providers may increasingly use virtual platforms, such as video conferencing, to conduct home healthcare meetings and consultations. Wearable devices: Patients may use wearable devices to track and monitor their health status, allowing healthcare providers to remotely monitor their progress and provide timely interventions if necessary. Telemedicine: Telemedicine may become more widespread, allowing patients to receive medical care from a distance, including diagnoses, consultations, and medication prescriptions. Robotics: Healthcare providers may use robotics technology to assist with tasks such as administering medication or taking vital signs. Artificial intelligence: Artificial intelligence (AI) may be used to analyze patient data and provide recommendations for treatment plans or to identify potential health issues before they occur. Overall, the future of home healthcare is likely to involve a combination of traditional in-person care and the use of technology to improve the delivery of care and increase patient access to healthcare services.

  • CNA JOBS CONNECTICUT CAREERS - NOW HIRING - CT JOB HEALTHCARE | ABI RESOURCES

    START APPLICATION What is a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) ? A certified nursing assistant, or CNA, helps patients or clients with healthcare needs under the supervision of a Registered Nurse (RN) or a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN). Also known as a Nursing Assistant (NA) a Patient Care Assistant (PCA) or a State Tested Nurse Aid (STNA), the individual who carries this title needs a strong work ethic and ability, but issues of liability and legality prevent CNAs from performing certain procedures. Role of the CNA Your regular responsibilities as a nursing assistant will vary based on where you work or live. Nursing assistants can work in a wide variety of settings; nursing homes, hospitals, adult day care centers, personal homes and assisted living facilities all to require nursing assistants to act as a helpful liaison between the RN or LPN and the patient. In many cases, the nu rsing assistant serves as the RN’s or LPN’s eyes and ears, and relays information between many patients and one or two RNs. The nursing assistant fulfills basic quality-of-life needs for patients of any age, ethnicity or gender in residential nursing care facilities or outpatient clinics. Since nursing assistants have daily contact with patients, they are gatherers of vital information about the patient’s conditions, which they must then transmit to their supervisors. A CNA’s workload can become intense and fast-paced, but the human contact and ability to help those in medical need is a strong motivating factors. A desire to help people and compassion for patients can help a nurse’s assistant get through difficult days. CNAs and the Nursing Industry Because so many nurse’s aides want to move up into more involved medical careers, there is a high rate of turnover for CNA positions. This means it is fairly easy to find a job as a CNA, but many who start out in this career do not stay in it for life. The demand for CNAs is high, especially among those institutions that provide continuing care and assisted living for the elderly. Many healthcare facilities recognize the important role that a qualified and compassionate CNA can play in the quality of care offered. Additionally, a CNA can find support through organizations such as the National Association of Health Care Assistants. Part of the reason there is such high turnover in CNA jobs is that CNAs can relatively easily get the necessary education to become RNs. Taking classes online while continuing to work is easier than ever, and there are many associate’s degrees and bachelor’s degree programs that CNAs can use to get qualified for better-paying work in the medical industry. Careers Similar to Certified Nursing Assistant CNAs, orderlies, psychiatric aides, and medical assistants are often lumped into one large category, and though the positions share some duties, there are key differences. The following are brief descriptions of each, to help you understand those differences and decide which fits you best. Orderlies: An orderly is a hospital attendant charged with non-medical patient care and general maintenance of systematic operations. Orderlies do not need a degree or certificate, and their interactions with patients are limited to non-treatment activities. . Psychiatric Aides: This position is similar to a CNA, except for the work environment. Mental health wards and psychiatric hospitals have different routines than regular hospitals, and psychiatric aides have to be familiar with the unique privacy concerns and treatment needs of mental health patients. Medical Assistants: A medical assistant does not need a degree or certificate, and their main responsibilities are to help doctors and nurses with routine tasks. Medical assistants have less authority to participate in patient treatment than CNAs. Certified Nurse Assistants/Aides: CNAs can take vital signs and gather other patient data as well as administer basic care and tend to the hygiene needs of patients. Because of their state-approved training and certification, CNAs have more authority and tend to be paid better than medical assistants, though many of their duties are similar. Daily Responsibilities of CNAs O-Net Online, a database linked to by The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), has detailed descriptions of the daily ups and downs of many jobs. Their description of a nursing or psychiatric aide’s daily duties includes: “Administer medications or treatments, such as catheterizations, suppositories, irrigations, enemas, massages, or douches, as directed by a physician or nurse.” “Clean and sanitize patient rooms, bathrooms, examination rooms, or other patient areas.” “Document or otherwise report observations of patient behavior, c omplaints, or physical symptoms to nurses.” “Apply clean dressings, slings, stockings, or support bandages, under the direction of a nurse or physician.” Clearly, the duties of a CNA are not glamorous, but the position is highly suited for people who are interested in helping to cure illness, mitigate misery, and generally add to the well-being of other people at the time they need it most. How do I become a nursing assistant? To obtain a nursing assistant job, a CNA most often needs to hav e at least a high school diploma, or GED, and at least some form of post-secondary nursing instruction. This can be obtained from a variety of institutions, including online schools, community colleges, trade schools, and so on. Students are then usually required to pass an examination for their certification. While a degree is typically not required, it can help prepare students for their CNA responsibilities as well as help provide a path to career advancement later on. The following associate degrees in healthcare can help train students for nursing assistant positions: Education, Licensure, and Advancement Training to become a medical assistant or CNA is offered by the Red Cross, community colleges, online schools and through medical facilities and can take anywhere from four to six weeks. Some clinics will hire untrained and inexperienced workers and provide on-the-job training, but these opportunities may be hard to come by. Many schools offer training within medical facilities as part of their course programs as well. CNA training programs can cost several thousand dollars, but it is possible to get financial aid to help shoulder this burden. The federal government, the military, and even hospitals themselves offer financial assistance for students of all stripes. After completing training, you’ll need to take a competency exam that tests both your book knowledge and practical skills that were taught during training. Practice tests and study guides are freely available online, so studying for the test should be a breeze. All CNAs must take an examination before they become qualified nursing assistants. Choosing Your CNA Career Now that you know a little more about what being a CNA is like, and have some information about other comparable jobs, it is time to make a choice. Exploring the different online programs that are available to move you toward these medical support careers is the first step toward actually getting a degree or certificate.

  • ABI RESOURCES | HOW TO | CONNECTICUT CONSERVATORSHIP PROBATE INFORMATION CT MFP

    CONSERVATORSHIP Often, the Probate Court will appoint a family member of the individual, or his or her close friend, as the conservator. Sometimes the court will appoint someone else, such as a lawyer. The court tries to determine whom the conserved person prefers but, if a conflict exists, may appoint an uninterested party. INVOLUNTARY Any adult person may use this form to petition for the appointment of a conservator of an adult who is alleged to be incapable. A “conservator of the person” is appointed to supervise the personal affairs of a person whom the court finds to be unable to meet essential requirements for personal needs, even with appropriate assistance. These needs may include but are not limited to, the need for food, clothing, shelter, health care, and safety. A “conservator of the estate” is appointed to supervise the financial affairs of a person whom the court finds to be incapable of doing so to the extent that property will be wasted unless adequate property management is provided. This may include but is not limited to, actions to obtain and manage assets, income, and public assistance benefits. The petition may also request the appointment of a successor conservator. The person for whom the appointment of a conservatorship is being requested is referred to as the respondent. VOLUNTARY Any adult person may use this form to petition the court to appoint a voluntary conservator of the person or estate to manage his or her personal or financial affairs, or both. A voluntary “conservator of the person” is appointed to supervise personal affairs, such as the need for food, clothing, shelter, health care, and safety. A voluntary “conservator of the estate” is appointed to supervise financial affairs. This may include but is not limited to, actions to obtain and manage assets, income, and public assistance benefits. The petition may also request the appointment of a successor conservator. A conservator is a person appointed by the Probate Court to oversee the financial or personal affairs of an adult. In an involuntary conservatorship, a conservator is appointed only if the court determines that the individual is unable to care for him or herself, or unable to manage his or her financial affairs. In a voluntary conservatorship, the court appoints a conservator on the request of an adult who seeks assistance in managing his or her affairs, without making a finding that the individual is incapable. There are two kinds of conservators. A conservator of the person supervises personal affairs and ensures that the person's basic needs, including food, shelter, clothing and health care, are met. A conservator of the estate supervises financial affairs, including caring for property, managing bank accounts and ensuring the safe handling of the person's income.
