Home care for aging parents

The first step is to tell us how we can help.

You may contact our care team when you first notice that an aging parent needs extra assistance, while planning for an upcoming change, or when care is needed more urgently.

During this initial conversation, we may ask about:

• Your loved one’s current living situation
• The daily activities that have become difficult
• Health, mobility, or home-safety concerns
• The type of assistance the family is currently providing
• Your preferred care schedule
• Any upcoming hospital discharge or recovery needs
• Your questions about services, caregivers, or costs

You do not need to have everything figured out before calling. Our team will guide you through the process and help you identify the next step.

We will arrange a free consultation to learn more about your loved one’s needs, routines, preferences, and goals.

The consultation gives your family an opportunity to ask questions and understand how professional, non-medical home care can help. 

Whenever appropriate, we encourage the client and important family decision-makers to participate.

During the consultation, we may discuss:

• Assistance with bathing, dressing, grooming, or toileting
• Mobility, transfers, and fall-prevention concerns
• Meal planning and preparation
• Medication reminders
• Light housekeeping and laundry
• Transportation, errands, and appointment accompaniment
• Companionship and social engagement
• Relief for a family caregiver
• Short-term or ongoing care schedules
• The client’s routines, interests, and personal preferences

Every client has different needs. Before services begin, we conduct a personalized assessment to understand the right type and level of assistance.

The assessment helps us evaluate:

• Activities of daily living
• Mobility and transfer assistance
• Personal hygiene needs
• Nutrition and meal preparation
• Home-safety concerns
• Social and emotional well-being
• Memory-related support needs
• Household responsibilities
• Family caregiver concerns
• Preferred days and times for care

We also take time to understand what is important to the client. Familiar routines, cultural preferences, communication styles, hobbies, and personal interests can all contribute to a more comfortable care experience.

Using information from the consultation and assessment, we develop a personalized care plan that reflects your loved one’s needs, preferences, and goals.

A care plan may include:

• Assistance with bathing, dressing, grooming, and other personal routines
• Mobility and transfer support
• Companionship and meaningful conversation
• Meal planning and preparation
• Medication reminders
• Light housekeeping and laundry
• Grocery shopping and errands
• Transportation and appointment accompaniment
• Safety supervision
• Temporary relief for family caregivers
• Support during recovery after an illness, surgery, or hospital stay

Your family will have an opportunity to review the recommended services and schedule before care begins. If needs change, the care plan can be reviewed and adjusted.

A positive relationship between the client and caregiver is an important part of successful home care.

We consider factors such as:

• Personality and communication style
• Personal preferences
• Shared interests when possible
• Language or cultural preferences
• Relevant caregiving experience

Before services begin, our team will review the care schedule, service agreement, communication process, and other important information with your family. We will also explain what to expect during the first visit.
