WHAT TO EXPECT
When seeking a care service for your aging or a differently-abled loved one, there are many factors to consider. You undoubtedly have many concerns and reservations. We are here to help.
Phone Calls
Our first contact with you will be through phone calls, text messages, or emails. The initial communication is crucial to setting up our subsequent engagement and scheduling an In-home Assessment
In-home Assessment
Our second engagement involves an assessment where we go to your home to answer your questions and we ask some of ours. This helps us understand your needs and level of care we need to provide and a care plan is developed.
Visits and Supervision
We stay in touch with you and regularly support the caregiver to ensrue that you are receiving sufficient care. If there's a need for additional services or to modify your service or any other needs that arise, we are right by your side
Start of Care
Following the in-home assessment from where the care plan is developed, we match your needs with a caregiver with the skills and understanding to serve your unique needs.
