At Executive Home Care, we realize that while our in-home care focuses on loved ones nationwide, the family plays a crucial role in the process.
Many times, we work directly with families, ensuring their loved one receives exceptional care. Along with that, we aim to be a helpful resource for family members as they navigate the complexities of care.
We’re dedicated to what’s best for your loved one, but we also care about you. We understand that managing in-home care for a family member can be overwhelming, and we’re here to guide you.
Here are a few things to keep in mind:
Stay in Touch with your Care Planner
A major part of delivering great in-home care is keeping communication open. Executive Home Care creates unique care plans that provide weekly and monthly check-ins, so you’re always aware of how things are going.
If you have questions about your loved one’s care plan, service quality, billing, or anything else, your point of contact at Executive Home Care is available to answer them.
Prepare for the Adjustment Period
Seniors who begin depending on someone to help with daily tasks may initially feel some hesitation or pushback. This is quite normal.
For those unfamiliar with in-home care, the adjustment can feel uncomfortable. They might think the assistance isn’t necessary or need time to adjust to the caregiver learning their preferences. With time, this adjustment will pass, and the care will blend into everyday life.
Be prepared for this transition, and keep in mind that it’s temporary.
Make Changes As Necessary
Many first-time clients find themselves dealing with an initial surplus or deficit of care. Adjusting the frequency and level of service usually involves finding a balance between budget constraints and personal requirements.
Seniors frequently give feedback on the care they receive, which is important for making necessary changes and ensuring high-quality service.
A new care plan is refined over time until it achieves the right balance. Your care team will support you and your loved one throughout this process to ensure optimal care.
We know that managing in-home care for seniors can be a complex and time-consuming task. Our team is here to help you create the most suitable care plan for your loved ones. Our caregivers are experienced in recognizing that each person’s needs and desires are unique, and we strive to provide the best care by listening to your family’s preferences. Your feedback is key to our continuous improvement in care quality. Whether it’s assistance with home tasks, medical needs, or companionship, we are equipped to provide comprehensive support.
