When you’re searching for home care for your loved one, it can be a difficult and emotional chapter. You want to make sure your loved one is comfortable, happy and safe in his or her own home.

  • Participated in physical rehabilitation recently?
  • Experienced lapses in memory?
  • Been unable to prepare meals?
  • Been unable to maintain an independent lifestyle?
  • Been unable to make it through the night unattended?
  • Posed a threat to his or her own well-being?

Consider what help your loved one needs

  • Laundry
  • Mobility
  • Light housekeeping
  • Errands
  • Grocery shopping
  • Meal preparation
  • Companionship
  • Medication reminders

Seek an in-home consultation with a home care professional.

  • Interview potential caregiver(s) in your loved one’s home.
  • Ask questions about personality, experience and commitment.
