Kim shares their story with joy and hope. Kim says that it all began in 2020, when I was forced to enter medical treatment for Covid. AccuCare was a great place to work and it was rewarding. But I knew that working 1 on 1 with someone who is sick can be stressful, especially if you are trying to help them through their symptoms.
One day I may meet a patient who is extremely calm and cool. I will then say something like, “I feel your illness. I care for you as if it were my family member.” It’s so nice to be there for them. AccuCare staff are always kind to me when I’m sick, and they are ready to say thanks.
Trends in 2020 and 2021 were dominated by the extremes of medication, which makes me sleepy and irritable, or medical tech. I needed to find a compromise: a device that could be used for first aid and medical equipment. I began looking into products that could assist with falls and apply pressure to prevent fractures. I thought I didn’t require that much assistive equipment. I just needed a bluetooth neck brace and a neck belt. Until someone pointed out that EMS was searching for the exact product.
I started researching the requirements for EMS, and I looked at several vendors to find a stronger, more durable product. It hit me: there weren’t any products that could help people move their upper bodies or prevent falls. I was determined to make this product a success.
Blue Spruce was the right product for me. I ordered one within one week. The device was able to withstand a few falls. Unloading a box from a moving van was my only accident. I fell once. My partner helped me to my feet and stopped me from falling. The product was used the next day, and I had about 20 more falls, including one that left me with a cracked wrist. However, I managed to avoid any injuries or falls. This device is used by most law enforcement officers and EMS personnel. The TIAA Wide Angle canes look like baby stilts and with in-home health care you can be certain for excellent care.
