Why October Is the Ideal Time to Begin
Fall brings cooler temperatures, shorter days, and—for many—heightened health risks. It’s also a season when schedules get busier, making proactive care all the more important. Here’s why October is the right time to start in-home skilled nursing:
1. Flu Season and Illness Prevention
As flu and cold season arrive, having a nurse regularly monitor your loved one’s health can make all the difference. BrightStar Care nurses can help coordinate flu shots, recognize early symptoms of illness, and support the immune system through consistent care and medication management.
2. Fall-Related Safety Risks
Boise’s beautiful autumn leaves can hide slippery patches on sidewalks and driveways. For older adults, this increases the risk of falls and injury. Skilled nurses can assess mobility issues, recommend safe routines, and provide wound care or recovery support if an accident does occur.
3. Preparing for Holiday Stress
The upcoming holidays often bring travel, visitors, and disruptions to routine care. By starting skilled nursing in October, families can establish a consistent care plan before the busy season begins—ensuring that their loved one’s needs are already met when life gets hectic.
4. Managing Chronic Conditions Through the Cold Months
For those managing conditions like diabetes, COPD, heart disease, or dementia, colder weather can exacerbate symptoms. Skilled nursing helps maintain stability through medication adherence, symptom tracking, and physician coordination—reducing emergency visits during winter.
