Initiating Home Care Services
You may be wondering “How do I begin the process and get SERVICE started WITH A CAREGIVER OF MY OWN? "
It is not always easy to decide if you want or need an extra set of hands around your home to help assist a loved one. Because of this, we try to make the process of setting up services for your loved one as simple as possible. We have found that we are able to get best results for everyone involved, when we begin with determining what the specific needs are for the client and their families.

Give Us a Call and We'll Help You Start the Process
Each family we care for is one of a kind, therefore understanding the unique circumstances and care needs for each client is significant. While on this call we try to gather key items of importance, including:
-
General information like name, address and contact information
-
Specific information regarding the current health status of your loved one
-
Information related to both their physical needs and their cognitive abilities
-
Any specifics related to challenges around communication or personality traits

Our purpose in this visit is to make a positive connection with your loved one and any other family members who might attend. In addition, it is on this visit that we work with you to define more specifically the help that you want and need from our caregivers.

Just like individuals within a family are unique, so are our caregivers. They have unique attributes and strengths. We invest in our caregivers and know them really well.

The continuing success of that care will depend on regular communication and cooperation with our client and their involved family members.

With competent caregivers in the home, we closely monitor any important events that occur with the goal being to adjust care plans as needed.
