At Executive Home Care, we understand that while we deliver direct care to individuals across the country, our true client is often the family.

Prepare for the Adjustment Period
When a senior starts needing help with daily tasks, it’s common for them to feel hesitant or resistant, especially in the beginning.
For seniors new to in-home care, the adjustment can be uncomfortable. They might feel the assistance isn’t needed, or it may take time for the caregiver to understand their preferences. However, as time goes on, the adjustment period will pass, and the care will become part of their normal routine.
It’s important to be prepared for this transition, and remember, it’s only temporary.
Make Changes As Necessary
For many first-time clients, it’s common to encounter issues with the initial level of care—either receiving too much or too little. Finding the right balance in visitation frequency and service level often involves considering budget constraints and personal needs.
It’s also typical for seniors to provide feedback on how the care is delivered. This feedback is invaluable for making necessary adjustments and ensuring the highest quality of care.
A new care plan is continually refined until it reaches the right balance. Your care team is committed to working with you and your loved one to achieve the best possible outcome.
Managing in-home care for seniors can be complex and time-consuming, and we’re here to make it easier for you. Our goal is to collaborate with you to develop the best care plan for your loved ones. Our team of dedicated caregivers appreciates that each person has their own needs and wishes, and we are always ready to adapt to what suits you and your family. The feedback you provide is crucial in helping us deliver consistently excellent care. From household assistance and medical support to companionship, we are equipped to handle all aspects of your loved one’s care.
