What You Can Expect From Personal Care

Initial Assessment

If your loved one might benefit from personal home care, call us for a complimentary assessment. During this initial meeting, we’ll get to know your loved one’s preferences, health concerns, home routines and schedule. This helps us create a personalized care plan built around your loved one’s needs and budget. We’ll also get connected with your loved one’s healthcare providers so we’re aligned on their medical directives.

Personalized Care Plan

Once we learn more about you, we’ll identify in-home services that can bring greater safety, enjoyment and peace to your family. Then we’ll pair your loved one with a caregiver who has the skills to help you achieve your goals. Our personal care providers are experienced, caring and dedicated, with a heart for caregiving. We form special bonds with each client, often becoming like an extended family.

Ongoing Communication

While providing personal home care, we stay in close contact with you. As your family’s needs change over time, we’ll adjust your in-home care services so your loved one gets the right care at the right time.

Paying for Home Care

Our personal care agencies work with families with a wide range of budgets. We accept long-term care insurance, some private health insurance, worker’s compensation insurance and payment through area Aging Services Access Points (ASAPs). Some clients pay for elder care privately, out of pocket.

Through flexible scheduling and tailored care plans, personal care can be cost-effective for many families. Call us at (800) 281-0878 for a cost estimate and to talk through your in-home care options.
