What are Health & Wellbeing Checks?

At Watershed Care Services, our Health and Wellbeing Checks offer a focused approach to maintaining your health from the comfort of your home. Each session involves a 30-minute visit from our health care professionals, dedicated to monitoring and recording key health indicators. This service is designed to catch early signs of potential health issues, enabling prompt action that can prevent deterioration and reduce the likelihood of hospital admission.

Key Features of Our Service:

• Comprehensive Monitoring: Our CareGivers assess crucial vital signs, including blood pressure, pulse, temperature, oxygen saturation, blood sugar assessment, alertness, and overall wellbeing using a detailed questionnaire.

• Advanced Technology: We utilise the latest devices for accurate and immediate digital recording of health data.

• Immediate Alerts: If the assessment indicates a need for intervention, Watershed Care Services ensures that family members and healthcare providers are swiftly informed.

• Customisable Schedule: These vital checks can be arranged weekly or more frequently depending on your personal health requirements, always at a consistent time for your convenience.

Benefits of Choosing Our Health and Wellbeing Checks:

• Early Detection: Proactively identifying changes in your health status allows for quicker medical responses when necessary.

• Reduced Hospital Visits: Effective monitoring can often prevent the conditions that lead to hospital stays.

• Peace of Mind: You and your loved ones can be reassured that professional health monitoring is regularly conducted.

Understanding the NEWS2 Matrix:

The NEWS2 (National Early Warning Score) system is a vital tool in our service. Developed by the Royal College of Physicians, this matrix helps in the early recognition of potential health deterioration. Utilising NEWS2 ensures that our clients receive consistent, informed responses to their health assessments. For detailed information about how NEWS2 works, please visit the NHS website and Royal College of Physicians.

Flexible Care Options:

Watershed Care Services offers these Health and Wellbeing Checks as either a standalone option or as part of a broader, tailor-made care package. Whether you need these checks to complement existing services or require comprehensive care solutions, we are here to adapt to your needs.
