Our staff at Approved Home Care conducted a lunch and learn with the social workers at Baylor Hospital, McKinney, Texas this past week.

Zack McConnell, our owner, was able to discuss with the Social Workers and Case Managers at Baylor to educate the departments about our in home care services, while eating a grilled chicken salad with balsamic vinaigrette dressing catered by Approved Home Care.

Zack McConnell, our company’s spokesperson, said the Social Workers were ready to eat and learn about our in home care services. Zack spoke with them about our dual discharge program and they raved about his succinct ability to present to a hungry crowd of busy Case Managers the information they needed to make a referral from Baylor to Approved. Approved offers assistance for patients as they discharge from Baylor, McKinney and north Texas residents.

Approved Home Care offers Baylor Hospital patients a customized discharge program for McKinney Baylor Hospital patients who need help packing up their hospital room, transitioning back at home, and additional homecare services as the body heals from a hospital stay. We help elderly and seniors who live in McKinney, Allen, Frisco, Melissa, Anna, and other cities on the north side of Dallas.

We customize a plan of care with as little as a few hours of care, to live-in, or 24 hour care. For those patients who are discharging out of the hospital, but are still too weak, our Aids help with bathing, dressing, and grooming, along with medication reminders, and meal preparation. Our licensed agency helps seniors by providing compassionate, one-on-one in home care in the comfort of home. With our dual discharge program, we have a low hospital readmission rate which makes a big difference for your loved one to keep from coming back to the hospital as they continue healing in the comfort of home.

Zack also spoke about our 2 specialized programs for Stroke Recovery patients, and our Customized Dementia program which is nationally recognized.

Our caregivers go thru extensive training in dementia care and we are offering a new dementia music program launching in July. Linda McConnell’s Mother suffered from Alzheimer’s for many years.

Approved In-Home Care Dallas at Frisco Blood Drive

Approved Home Care enjoyed a day with Carter BloodCare at Strikes Bowling in Frisco, Texas this past week.

Our owner, Zack McConnell, was one of the first to volunteer to donate blood for this great cause. Carter BloodCare saves lives and is a not-for-profit organization with locations in Allen, Plano, and Lewisville. Carter BloodCare is a part of a network of community blood centers, serving the greater Dallas area, that collect and distribute almost 50% of the nation’s blood supply to hospitals caring for transfusion patients in the hospital.

After giving blood, the day included entertainment from Radio Station Lone Star 92.5, Classic Rock for Dallas, on hand promoting the event at Strikes Bowling Alley, in Frisco. Lone Star 92.5 is sponsoring several summer blood drives featuring Bo & Jim In The Mornings and Jeff K. They know how to promote an event and have a good time. Fun was had by all and the Lone Star 92.5 had a vampire on hand complete with fangs and beady eyes. To add an exclamation point to the day, our owner, Zack & Linda McConnell won tickets to the Jimmy Buffett concert for later that evening at the Frisco Toyota Stadium, home of FC Dallas Soccer team.

Strikes Bowling in Frisco, Texas hosted the event and provided a free hour of bowling for all who gave blood to Carter BloodCare during the blood drive last Saturday. Strikes offers a great bowling experience for the whole family and also has an arcade and laser tag area for all to enjoy.

Donating blood is an important service that not only benefits seniors & the elderly, but all of those experiencing healthcare needs. Approved in Home Care supports seniors who are hospitalized and in need of blood. We believe in helping our community and encourage healthy residents to give blood on a regular basis to our blood banks.

For seniors or elderly who are recovering from surgery, Approved Home Care staff regularly donates blood to Carter BloodCare to support our service area of Dallas, Plano, Highland Park, McKinney, Frisco, and Lewisville. Approved Home Care helps patients at home, along with providing caregivers and Nurse Aid’s for folks getting out of the hospital or rehab, recovering from illness and who need help at home.
