If you’re wondering, “How do I safely access healthcare for myself or my loved one?” you’re not alone!

91-year-old Iris is exasperated by the changes in healthcare brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. Still living in her own home, she’s uncomfortable going to the doctor’s office, where she feels exposed to contagion.

The standard response to addressing healthcare through COVID-19 safely has been telemedicine replacing in-office appointments. But older patients like Iris have difficulty hearing and seeing health professionals through their computers. Iris senses that important details are being missed. It doesn’t feel like a thorough exam without a hands-on, in-person interaction.

“I don’t want a TeleDoc appointment — I want a home visit!” she exclaims. If only healthcare would come to her, in the comfort of her own home!

Fortunately, if you live in Geauga County (or surrounding Ashtabula, Cuyahoga, Lake, Portage, Summit or Trumbull counties), you can have a medical professional from Ohman Family Living visit your home. A highly trained team of clinicians — nurses, specialized therapists, nursing assistants or companions — follow structured infection-control protocols to safely administer care in private homes.

Kurt Ingersoll, Vice President of Operations, explains Ohman Family Living at Home’s difference: “It’s the way we treat people. Our staff cares for others as they would want to be treated. We focus on hiring people who embody the values of love and care. We can’t teach empathy; our caregivers embody that naturally.”

Motivated by the Supremacy of Love as their guiding principle, they care for their clients with kindness and gentleness. Through compassion, they elevate their clients’ quality of life, maintaining an ideal atmosphere that provides safety, security and cleanliness within the familiarity, consistency and comfort of home.

Joshua Wallace, Vice President of Growth Strategies at Ohman Family Living, describes how one foundational value is fundamental to their approach.

“Creating a home-like environment has informed and instructed all of our services since our founding in 1965. It’s about safety, security and comfort.”

Ohman Family Living focuses on overall wellness and preventive care once short- term acute treatment has been addressed. Whether helping people transitioning back home from the hospital or rehab; or those who want to live at home for as long as possible, Ohman’s skilled nursing professionals offer a rare blend of specialized medical expertise combined with commitment to the supremacy of love, resulting in enhanced outcomes for their clients.

Non-medical companionship care is also available, providing housekeeping, shopping, personal hygiene/grooming and other daily functions to maintain a safe and healthy home environment.

For over 50 years, the Ohman family has kept the organization close to home and close to heart, offering people a deep sense of familiarity and belonging. They provide a high level of expertise with a sense of stability.

“Whatever level of care a patient or resident requires, our constituents know that those we care for will continue to be treated under the same, high-quality Ohman Family Standard of Living,” Wallace emphasizes.

For people like Iris — who are pursuing healthcare while maintaining independence in their own homes and minimizing exposure to COVID-19 — Ohman Family Living at Home is the ideal choice.
