Step One
PERSONALIZED ASSESSMENT
We come to your home to personally evaluate all the areas in which your loved one may need assistance. We evaluate physical and emotional health, social activity, home safety and maintenance, need for transportation, housekeeping, meal preparation, errands, bathing, dressing,legal advisement and financial management. The care manager then outlines areas of concern with specific actions to address both short and long term needs.
Step Two
PERSONALIZED CARE PLAN
The care plan is a roadmap for the future, with recommendations for how to proceed in every area. These recommendations can be implemented by family members, by the care manager, or by both. You decide how much or how little you want us to be involved.
Step Three
IMPLEMENTATION
