A Thorough Assessment and Client Evaluation

 The process always begins with a thorough Assessment and Client Evaluation. We will ask you and your loved one(s) several questions, listen carefully, and determine what options you will have for insuring the highest level of safety and happiness for your senior loved one. The Assessment is generally done in person where the senior lives but can also be done in a hospital or rehab center. 

The Care Plan

Following the Assessment and Evaluation, a Care Plan will be developed that will guide the care options available. We will research available resources (including Medicare Skilled Services, in Home Care, assisted living, etc.) and will educate the family on what the services entail, what payment options are available, various price points for the different options and set realistic expectations. There are often many possible solutions for any situation. The Care Plan will be written and reviewed with the family to ensure all family members are informed and in agreement. 

Managing the Care Plan

We will actively manage the Care Plan and stay involved with adjusting the Care Plan as your loved one improves or possibly declines. Our goal is always safety and happiness. Sometimes the level of care can be decreased as your loved one’s situation improves. In some situations, the level of care required to keep your senior safe and have their needs appropriately met will mean the services may need to be increased. In either situation, the family will be kept fully informed and knowledgeable of whatever changes are happening and what the financial implications are, if any.
