Mr. Juneja's story
“My father, who is 67, had taken a fall while having a bath nearly a month ago. He was not able to move and even the slightest movement of his left leg was hurting him badly. We immediately called an ambulance and took him to the emergency room. There, the doctor gave him a painkiller injection and got an x-ray done, which showed a broken hip. He suggested that the only option was to have a hip replacement surgery. The only problem was that my father would have to be in bed for a month, and during that period, it was mandatory for him to take a walk, 3-4 times a day. We got the operation done, which was successful. After discharge, he required specialized nursing at home for about a month.
After enquiring a lot, we heard about Medfind and immediately hired a 12-hour Day Nurse. Hiring her was a huge relief as we were all worried about how we'd take care of my father. The nurse was friendly and took good care of my father. She did all the dressings, maintaining cleanliness and kept a watch on my father's diet. Painkiller injections and medicines were all administered by her. She became like a part of our family and although we had asked for her services for the whole month, my father was up on his feet in less than 4 weeks. Our experience with Medfind, from the start till the end, was very smooth. We did not feel that we were dealing with a company; it was as if we were with someone who really cared.

Skilled nurse or a trained attendant? Which one do I need?
At a very rudimentary level, the basic difference in both the categories is that a trained attendant looks after the day-to-day activities of the patient whereas a skilled nurse takes care of all medicinal needs.
So, if you need someone to assist you with the fundamental needs of the patient such as feeding, wound management, assistance while exercising, etc., you should opt for a trained attendant. On the other hand, if the patient requires specialised skills such as wound management, injections etc., opt for a skilled nurse.
At Medfind, we provide both skilled nurses and trained attendants, based on your requirement.
