Compassionate At-Home Cancer Care in New York.
We provide expert support and cancer care for patients in their New York homes. These are challenging times for the whole family. Let us help take some of the stress away.
Why Home Care Services Are Important for Cancer Patients
According to a study conducted way back in 1989, home care for cancer patients shows significant differences in enforced social dependency, distress symptoms, and health perceptions. These findings suggest that using home cancer care services can help prevent distress for those suffering from the disease and help them maintain more prolonged independence.
Due to new technology, changes in health care, and advances in cancer treatments, cancer patients can now spend less time in the hospital and more time in the comforts of their home. However, these patients still require specialized treatments, care, and support as they undergo radiation treatments, chemotherapy, and surgery. While family members do their best to help, they still have their own daily routines to take-on, and some patients require special treatments that only a trained caregiver can perform. That is where we come in. Crane Home Care can provide you with the help you need during these rough times. You can rest assured that your loved one is in good hands with one of our caregivers onboard.
