We answer Christ's call by providing health care and related services to those who are striving to achieve their highest possible life, health and comfort.

Home Telemonitoring

Lutheran Home Care Services' Home Telemonitoring Service utilizes advanced technology that allows us to collect vital signs and monitor our clients every day of the week - from the comfort of their own homes. We have partnered with HomMed, the nation's leading provider of home telemonitoring equipment, to bring the very best telemonitoring service possible to our clients.

About the size of a clock-radio, the HomMed Home Telemonitoring system is small and unobtrusive in the home. Each day a gentle, friendly voice guides the client through the simple procedure to collect the vital signs (weight, temperature, and blood sugar). The client is then asked up to 10 questions about his or her condition that can be answered by pressing a yes or no button on the monitor. The monitor automatically transmits the data via telephone connection to our office where it is reviewed daily by our nurse. We can incorporate the data into trend reports and provide them to the client's doctor on a regular basis. For those with other monitoring needs, medical devices and attachments such as a spirometer, glucose meter, an ECG device and more are available.

Peace of Mind
With this preventive and proactive approach to health care, we can detect health problems before they escalate into a more serious condition and may help avoid trips to the emergency room or hospital. Being monitored daily gives our clients a sense of security and helps to foster feelings of independence.

For Aging Parents
Our Home Telemonitoring service provides a real benefit to those with aging parents, especially when the parents live at a distance where daily contact is difficult. The families can enjoy peace of mind knowing that our nurse is checking in daily and will intervene when and if it is necessary.
