How To Get Started With Home Care

The following topics are commonly discussed during initial meetings.

• Specific physical needs of the care recipient with regards to bathing and grooming, dressing, meals and diet, mobility, and incontinence.
• Reviewing schedules involving sleep, eating and medicine.
• Specific emotional needs such as social interaction, activities, conversation, appointments, and companionship.
• Specific assistance with homemaking such as preparation of meals, groceries, linens, laundry, and light housekeeping.
• Logistics of schedules, access to the home, documentation, and the details of how to work with scheduling changes, the office or the caregivers.
• If you would like to proceed with care at that time, we would establish a schedule, finalize the care plan, schedule a nurse visit, and coordinate a meeting with caregiver(s).
