House Calls Health & Wellness
House Calls Health & Wellness was started by Melody Leskun in July 2008. Melody is a Licensed Practical Nurse and Certified Foot Care Nurse who spent the large majority of her nursing years working in Geriatric care before following her passions to start House Calls Home Nursing.
Initially House Calls focused mainly on foot care visits, as there was a definite need for this service in the Fraser Valley. As Melody visited seniors in their homes, she began to notice how many seniors were struggling on their own with a variety of health care needs.
Melody then began her pursuit to meet some of these needs. With a staff of Registered Care Aides, Licensed Practical Nurses and Registered Nurses as well as housekeepers and homemakers, House Calls Nursing has grown to provide many necessary services. These services include; personal care (bathing, hygiene, toileting, dental care, hair washing and grooming), household management (housekeeping, meal planning and preparation, laundry), Companionship (doctor’s appointments, visitation, appointment/outing escorts), and Nursing visits to perform assessments, monitor vital signs, provide diabetic care, wound care and medication assistance.Melody Leskun and her father-in-law Rick
The goal of House Calls Nursing is to meet any and all health and home care needs to seniors who wish to maintain their independence living in their own homes. House Calls Home Nursing services the Fraser Valley from Chilliwack to Surrey, providing a wide range of home care services to individuals who value their independence and wish to be cared for at home.
Unlike many other health care companies, House Calls Nursing aims to provide consistency and promote relationship development by maintaining continuity. This means we try to match the caregiver to the client’s specific needs and aim to have the same caregiver service that client whenever possible.
This service is provided while enjoying a relaxing soak in a foot bath and ends with a moisturizing foot rub! House Calls Nursing is registered with the Department of Veterans Affairs and can bill DVA directly for foot care costs. Home Care costs may also be eligible for billing. These services are also recognized by many extended benefits programs.
So as we look to the future, Melody and the staff of House Calls Home Nursing look forward to many years of providing high quality, loving care to the frail and elderly in the Fraser Valley. We hope that our motto “We bring our heart to your home” demonstrates our values.
Don’t hesitate to call for your free in-home consultation! You’ll wonder why you didn’t call sooner.
