Prepare for the Adjustment Period
When a senior starts depending on help with everyday activities, it’s not uncommon for them to feel hesitant or resistant at first.
Seniors who are new to in-home care often experience an awkward adjustment period. They may feel that they don’t need assistance, and it might take some time for the caregiver to understand their preferences. However, as they settle in, the care will become part of their daily routine.
During this phase, it’s important to anticipate these feelings and remember that the adjustment is only temporary.
Make Changes As Necessary
First-time clients often experience either an excess or shortage of initial care. Setting the right frequency and level of service typically requires balancing personal needs with budget considerations.
It’s also common for seniors to provide feedback on the care they receive. This input is crucial for making adjustments and ensuring that care is delivered effectively.
A new care plan is a dynamic process, evolving until it meets the desired level of satisfaction. Your care team will work diligently with you and your loved one to perfect it.
We understand that overseeing in-home care for seniors can be both challenging and time-intensive. Our team is here to help you design the most effective care plan for your loved ones. Our experienced caregivers recognize that everyone has unique needs and preferences, and we are dedicated to working with you to find what works best. Your input is essential for us to continually improve our care services. Whether your loved one needs help with daily tasks, medical attention, or simply a friendly presence, we are prepared to support all their needs.
