Our Home Care Process in Fernandina

To ensure your loved one — and your family — receives the most beneficial support, we need to learn more about your situation and needs. To achieve that, we'll lead you through the following:

• An initial discussion where we can cover the details about your situation, our home care services, and the potential cost of your care.
• An in-depth evaluation where we'll meet with your loved one and the other involved family members to fully assess your home care needs.
• A plan-building process where we construct a custom home care plan based on our assessment and your family's input.
• A selection process where we determine the ideal care professional based on how their skill set, availability, and personality align with your loved one's needs.
