At Executive Home Care, we understand that although we assist loved ones across the nation with in-person care, the family is ultimately our client.
We typically collaborate directly with family members of the individual in need of care. This indicates that providing exceptional care and serving as a resource for family members are our top goals.
What’s best for your loved one is what we want. We understand that you might not know how to handle in-home care for a family member, and we also want what’s best for you.
Here are a few things to keep in mind:

Keep in mind that your point-of-contact at Executive Home Care would be pleased to assist you with any issues you may have concerning your care plan, the caliber of treatment, billing, or anything else.
Prepare for the Adjustment Period
There may be resistance or reluctance when a senior starts to depend on someone else to help them with daily duties, especially at first. This happens a lot.
The adjustment phase can be unpleasant, especially for seniors who are not accustomed to receiving in-home care. They might believe that assistance is not required. It could take some time for the caregiver to become familiar with their preferences. But eventually, the period of adjustment will pass, and regular care will become a normal part of daily life.
In the initial stages, be ready for this period of adjustment and understand that it is just temporary.
Make Changes As Necessary
Receiving either an excessive amount or insufficient first care is another typical experience for new patients. Budget, individual demands, and other factors are frequently balanced while determining the frequency of visits and degree of treatment.
Seniors frequently express their opinions regarding the way in which assistance is delivered. It’s critical to record this input, make any necessary adjustments, and keep giving the best treatment possible.
A novel approach to care is an ongoing process until a particular cadence is attained. You may be confident that your care team will make every effort to assist you and your loved one in getting there.
