Replacing Emergency Room Visits with Consistent Home Stability
Living with chronic diseases like Congestive Heart Failure, COPD, Diabetes, or Hypertension often feels like walking a tightrope. A missed diuretic dose, a high-sodium meal, or an unnoticed respiratory infection can trigger a sudden physical decompensation and a traumatic trip to the emergency room.
OnPoint transforms chronic disease management from reactive crisis response into calm, predictable stability. Led by Risper Murunga, RN, BSN, MPH, our nursing team conducts daily biometric surveillance, oversees medication compliance, prepares condition-specific meals, and communicates regularly with your doctor.
"Chronic conditions don't have to define your parent's quality of life. With meticulous daily nursing surveillance, we keep health parameters stable and keep families out of the hospital."
Supported Chronic Conditions
Specialized clinical protocols tailored to the unique physiological requirements of each diagnosis:
Congestive Heart Failure (CHF)
Daily morning weight logs, pedal edema inspection, low-sodium meal prep, fluid restriction tracking, and early diuretic adjustment coordination.
COPD & Respiratory Disease
Continuous SpO2 pulse oximetry, home oxygen equipment safety checks, inhaler and nebulizer compliance, and energy conservation coaching.
Type 1 & 2 Diabetes Care
Daily blood glucose tracking, sliding-scale insulin administration by licensed nurses, diabetic neuropathy foot checks, and low-glycemic meal planning.
Hypertension & Renal Disease
Calibrated blood pressure surveillance, renal-safe low potassium/phosphorus diet preparation, medication timing, and lab requisition tracking.
Biometric Surveillance & Action Parameters
Clear clinical thresholds monitored by our Registered Nurses to intercept disease flare-ups:
Blood Pressure & Heart Rate
Calibrated automatic oscillometric BP cuffs with standardized seated readings, postural orthostatic checks, and immediate physician escalation for SBP >160 or <90 mmHg.
Daily Dry Weight (CHF)
Morning post-void weights logged before breakfast on calibrated digital scales. Tracking fluid accumulation to trigger diuretic titration before pulmonary congestion develops.
Pulse Oximetry & Respiratory Rate
Continuous SpO2 measurement with fingertip sensors, dyspnea grading during exertion, and supplemental oxygen flow rate verification according to physician directives.
Glucometry & Insulin Administration
Fasting and pre-prandial blood glucose logs, hypoglycemic symptom checks (diaphoresis, tremors), sliding-scale insulin delivery by licensed nurses, and emergency glucagon readiness.

Questions About Chronic Disease Management
By tracking subtle daily clinical metrics—such as a 2-pound overnight weight gain in CHF or spiking blood sugar in diabetes—our nurses intervene early with physician-directed medication adjustments before acute crises occur.
Yes. Our licensed nurses (RN/LPN) manage daily glucometry tracking, administer subcutaneously prescribed insulin doses, monitor for hypoglycemia, and maintain detailed glycemic logs.
We monitor SpO2 pulse oximetry, ensure oxygen concentrators and portable tanks are functioning correctly, assist with prescribed nebulizer/inhaler treatments, and coach paced breathing techniques.
Yes. Our care aides prepare wholesome, home-cooked meals strictly aligned with physician dietary guidelines: low-sodium for heart failure, carbohydrate-controlled for diabetes, and low-potassium/phosphorus for renal disease.
We compile bi-weekly electronic vitals summaries (BP, pulse, weight, SpO2, blood sugar) and transmit them directly to the primary care physician or specialist clinic via secure e-fax or email.
Contact us to schedule a free in-home clinical assessment with our Lead Registered Nurse, who will review all medical history, lab parameters, and physician directives.
We maintain direct communication with specialized clinics across Metro Vancouver, including Heart Function Clinics, Diabetes Education Centres, and Respirology outpatient teams.
Yes. Our registered nurses and trained aides assist with sterile connection protocols, cycler setup, effluent bag weighing, and fluid balance documentation.
