It's completely normal to feel a little unsure about starting care. We understand that, and we want to make it as easy and comfortable as possible. We like to take things slowly and gently, especially if your loved one is hesitant.
Sometimes, people think they can handle everything on their own, and that's okay! We can start with just one or two visits a week. As they get to know their care professional and see how helpful the visits are, they often find they enjoy the company and support. And of course, as everyone knows, demands change over time, and we'll be there to adjust and help every step of the way.
Getting Started is Super easy:
We have a conversation about what your family member needs help with and what concerns they have.
We like to meet your family member face-to-face so we can really get to know them. We'll talk about what they enjoy, what they don't, and what they like to do for fun. We'll also take a look around their home to make sure everything is safe and that their helper knows about anything that might be tricky.
Then, we'll create a special plan just for them, focusing on exactly what they need help with.
We want to make sure your family member gets along really well with their helper! So, we think carefully about who would be a good match based on what your Personality and needs.
If things change, or your family member finds they'd prefer someone different, that's okay too! We can always find a new helper.
To make sure everything's going great, our Care Manager will visit regularly to check in, see how things are going, and make any changes to the care plan if needed.
