During this time of uncertainty, many chronically ill adults are canceling their medical appointments. These patients are the most seriously ill, vulnerable and at-risk for becoming sicker due to not getting the care they need.

If your loved one is seriously ill and canceling their doctor appointments they are putting themselves more at risk for becoming sicker by not getting the care they need.

It’s important to continue getting proper care during the pandemic to avoid ending up at overburdened urgent care centers and emergency rooms (places that typically have a higher risk of exposure to coronavirus). 

If you have a loved one who has missed a doctor appointment, Homecare of Mid Missouri may be able to help. A Homecare of Mid Missouri nurse may be able to visit you or your loved one at home to determine how they are doing and what additional care may be beneficial. Ensuring a loved one with a chronic serious illness is getting the care they need can help keep them out of the hospital and improve their quality of life. Homecare of Mid Missouri can consult with your loved one’s physician to determine if they qualify for a home assessment.
