Steps to Getting Help

We’ll gently guide you through getting the help you or your loved one needs.

First…

We’ll talk with you about your loved one’s situation—the issues they’re having and the needs you’re seeing.

…Next…

We’ll explain what we can (and can’t) do to help.

Then…

We’ll set up a date and time to meet you and your loved one. We can generally meet you and your loved one within an hour of when you contact us.

In Home Care Assessment

At the appointed date and time, our specially-trained Client Care Coordinator will come to your home and perform a FREE In Home Care Assessment, which will take about 45 minutes to 2 hours. You’ll also tell the Client Care Coordinator about your loved one’s abilities, needs, and preferences. Most of all, the Client Care Coordinator will be listening to you—what you need and what you want.

Service Plan

From the In Home Care Assessment, we’ll develop a Service Plan that will meet your loved one’s needs.

Service Plans can be revised and updated at the client’s request.
