WE LISTEN

Listening to our clients and their families, our caring staff endeavors to fulfill their special requests and needs.

WE ASSESS

Our thorough assessment process takes place in the location the client calls home; allowing us to observe their environment and personalize the care plan from nutritional, medical, safety needs all the way through to understanding personalities, and individual likes, dislikes and recreational activities.

WE DEVELOP AND MATCH

Based on the client's individualized services requirements, a comprehensive care plan is developed in consultation with the client and/or family. Because of our thorough assessment we are able to match our caregivers to our clients to provide the best connection.

WE IMPLEMENT

The caregiver is introduced to the client by our Care Manager during the initial visit, at which time the caregiver gets familiarized with the client in their own environment.

WE ENGAGE

Our philosophy is where possible we assist and "do with" our senior clients vs. "do for" our clients. By keeping seniors active and involved in their own care it leads to improved quality of life and sense of self worth and accomplishment.

WE MONITOR

We monitor and communicate with our clients on a regular basis. We will review the Care Plan regularly with our clients. Random quality assurance visits will also take place by the Care Manager to monitor the appropriate implementation of the Care Plan.
