While the living spaces determine the quality of living, the architectural features of the hospitals determine the
quality of health and ease of availing it. The architecture that is both convenient and serves the purpose is what
everyone expects.

With a vision for patient’s requirement and the futuristic needs of the society as a whole, the management of
hospitals are predicting a dire need for the infrastructures that enable hospitals to deliver convenience and simpli-
fied healthcare.

Adopting the spic-and-span and convenient facility features is one of the characteristics of healthcare industry.
Gone are the days healthcare practices used to follow the stereotypic features. Overriding the traditional architec-
tural values, healthcare practices these days are following the infrastructural patterns that are perfectly balanced

Keeping the needs of future in mind here are a few healthcare facility enhancements and architectural changes
that may occur in the times to come.

Primary Consultation and Examination Rooms – Primary care and examination rooms are going to be the
point-of-care units for the health care seekers. The technological advances in diagnostic patterns and organiza-
tional streamlining strategies make the patient experience enhanced. The care too will be personalized and the
facility will attain the approach of patient-centrality.

Medical and Surgical Patient Rooms – The manual surgical procedures would be replaced by the minimally
invasive and robotic surgeries. And, the surgery rooms will enable the doctors in accessing the medical records,
in viewing the internal organs and in performing the procedures with accuracy and precision.

Intensive Care Unit Patient Rooms – With the dire

need of close observation and critical medical
care, the ICUs will be designed allowing the
doctors to instantly access the medical records
and perform the instant health checks with the
help of improved real time health trackers of
various organs.

Patient Rooms with Integrated Screens – Medical

records are critical in analyzing the individual’s
health conditions and the doctors and other
healthcare providers are dependent on moni-
tors. Doctors may view the medical data on the
big screens with superior resolution levels in the
future, thanks to the latest technology in televi-
sion screen development.

Geriatric Home Healthcare

The Cons of Being a Caregiver to a Family Member

There is no greater deed than helping the elderly family members who are in need of a helping hand during the
illness or age related physical inability. The caregiver in the family will be of a great help to the elderly by being the
best aid and by fulfilling all their needs without being asked for. They would be the only solace of the elderly hearts
in the most difficult phase of life. Caregiving gives contentment and a feel of fulfilling responsibility. However, this is
only one side of the coin.

Caregiving is a tough job that deals with

Help You in or addressed can lead to serious

This Aspect tions. It is common to see caregivers
often seek psychological help because
of the high levels of stress and anxiety.
The negative complications that are
associated with Caregiving can be
managed in the right way by the profes-
sionals who are in caregiving. However,
when it comes to the family members
who support their elderly as caregivers,
it is a strenuous task. It is important for
caregivers to engage themselves
regularly in social activities and in
things that relieve the stress that
caused by caregiving. Here are 4 ways
through which caregiving by a family
member can impact on your personal
life.

08
 Depression and Loneliness
Caregivers ensure their elderly ones are not feeling
abandoned by becoming their comfort point. However,
it is the caregivers who feel lonely. Be it because of
seeing their elderly slowly drifting into the phase of
aging or be it for seeing the agony their seniors are expe-
riencing, caregivers become depressed. In addition, they
sometimes feel lonely when there no comforting hand
around.
Physical Health Issues
In caregiving, sleepless nights and restless days are
common as you are taking care of another human being
who has daily physical needs of their own. Sometimes
they even skip their meals in order to take care of their
elderly if the need is there. Added the mental stress,
neglected behavior towards own health takes a big toll
by causing various physical health issues and some-
times serious illness.
Missing Social Life
Caregivers are always expected to be with their elderly
to ensure their needs are fulfilled. And, these needs
could not be foretold which make the caregiver just to
be there at the time of need - one of the main reasons
why caregivers could not experience their social life. It is
not surprising to see caregivers expressing their grief for
their reduced social life.
Reduced Work-Life Balance
Caregiving forces to compromise on work and personal
life. Due to the mental and physical stress involved in it,
one may not be able to concentrate and misses the
balance between professional and personal life. Taking
care of your aging parents is a sincere responsibility.
However, if they are unable to maintain work-life
balance it is most advisable to search for alternative
options such as elderly home care.
Caregiving is helping to heal but it is not a
simple job for a family member considering
the complications it causes both in terms of
physical and mental health. There is nothing
wrong in seeking help from the professional
caregivers which are now available in India,
thanks to the geriatric home healthcare
services.
