Our Approach to Starting Home Care in Andersonville

You may feel overwhelmed by the thought of arranging care for a loved one who has until now been independent or whom you have helped on your own. We understand families often feel stressed before getting into the groove of a home care routine, and we are ready to help make the path to a positive care solution a smooth experience. That's why we've paved the way with just a few simple steps:

Step 1: An initial phone call
Just pick up the phone and call our local office. We can answer some basic questions and then arrange for you to meet with a care coordinator for a more detailed conversation.
Step 2: A free consultation
Our consultations are free of charge and don't have any strings attached. We use this time to learn more about the personal situation of potential care recipients, answer their family's questions, and start laying out a possible plan of care.
Step 3: Care planning
If you determine that our home care agency is right for your loved one, we'll take the next step of finalizing their care plan and schedule our care visits with your family's input.
Step 4: Caregiver selection
We believe that making the right caregiver match is crucial for the best care experience. By considering a wide variety of factors, we select a caregiver who will work well with your loved one's personality and lifestyle while offering the specific services they've requested.
Step 5: Constant communication
You'll always be kept in the loop about your loved one's care, and you can easily get in touch with us whenever you have a special request or want to make changes.

Understanding Companion Care

If your loved one could benefit from some basic assistance around the house and feels a bit lonely, companion care services may be best for them. These services include support with activities like meal preparation and running errands and are delivered by a compassionate caregiver who will engage in conversation with your loved one and build an authentic personal connection with them.

Understanding Personal Care

Personal care offers more advanced assistance for seniors with needs for direct physical support as they perform activities of daily living. Our personal caregivers are able to help seniors bathe, get dressed, and move safely around the home, all while bringing joy and positivity to their day.

Understanding Respite Care

When your duties as an unpaid family caregiver become so overwhelming that you have no time for yourself, taking a break is a must. We can arrange to give you time off through our respite care services. That way, you can recharge your batteries without feeling guilty or worried about your loved one's safety.

Understanding Alzheimer's and Dementia Care

Seniors with memory disorders have specific care needs that must be addressed through a carefully tailored care plan. We take the care recipient's diagnosis into account to create a forward-thinking plan that will enable them to remain at home for as long as possible while coping with the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease or any of the various forms of dementia.

Understanding Transitional Care

Transitional care helps elderly adults move from one environment to another. Our Ready, Set, Go Home transitional care program focuses on laying the foundation for a successful transition from a medical facility to the senior's home. We tailor care around ensuring seniors implement their physicians' directives and also provide crucial resources to help them avoid complications.

Understanding Palliative Care and End of Life Care

If your loved one is struggling with a dire health condition, palliative care can bring hope and soothing comfort that tends to their full range of needs. When seniors are transitioning into the end of life stage, end of life care gives families the opportunity to spend more precious time together.
