Prepare for the Adjustment Period
When a senior first starts needing help with daily tasks, they may feel hesitant or resistant, which is very typical.
Seniors new to in-home care often find the adjustment awkward at first. They may believe the help isn’t needed, or it may take a while for the caregiver to understand their preferences. However, over time, the adjustment period will pass, and care will become part of the daily routine.
It’s important to prepare for this transition, knowing it’s only temporary.
Make Changes As Necessary
New clients often face the challenge of receiving either too much or too little care initially. Establishing the correct level of service and visitation frequency typically involves adjusting for budgetary and personal considerations.
It’s common for seniors to voice their opinions on how care is provided. This feedback is crucial for refining the care plan and ensuring it meets their needs effectively.
A care plan is a living document that evolves until it reaches the right balance. Your care team is committed to working with you and your loved one to make any necessary adjustments.
Overseeing in-home care for seniors can be both challenging and demanding, and we are here to assist you in crafting the perfect care plan. Our team of expert caregivers knows that every individual has specific needs and preferences, and we are committed to working with you to find the best approach. Your feedback helps us to continually enhance our care services. Whether your loved one needs help around the house, medical care, or simply a companion to share time with, we are prepared to address all their needs.
