At Executive Home Care, we understand that although we offer care to individuals across the nation, the family is always at the center of our work.
We frequently collaborate with family members who are involved in their loved one’s care. Our dual priorities are to deliver top-notch care and to provide guidance and support to the family.
We strive to ensure the best care for your loved one while also considering your needs. We recognize that in-home care can be difficult to manage, and we’re here to help you navigate the process.
Here are some things to keep in mind.
Stay in Touch with your Care Planner
At Executive Home Care, we believe excellent in-home care includes keeping you well-informed. That’s why we develop tailored care plans with scheduled weekly and monthly updates, ensuring you’re never left in the dark.
If you ever have questions about the care plan, quality of care, billing, or anything else, your designated contact at Executive Home Care will be more than happy to assist.
Prepare for the Adjustment Period
When seniors first begin to rely on others for assistance with daily tasks, it’s common for them to experience some resistance or reluctance.
This is especially true for those new to in-home care. The initial adjustment can feel uncomfortable, and they may think they don’t need the help. It can also take time for the caregiver to learn their preferences. However, the transition phase will pass, and care will eventually feel like a natural part of their day.
Being prepared for this period of adjustment will help, and it won’t last forever.
Make Changes As Necessary
For new clients, it’s not unusual to encounter either too much or too little care initially. Determining the appropriate visitation frequency and level of service often requires balancing budgetary limits and individual needs.
Seniors often share their opinions about how their care is managed. This feedback is essential for making adjustments and ensuring the care provided is top-notch.
A care plan is continually adjusted until it fits well with the client’s needs. Your care team is dedicated to working with you and your loved one to achieve the best possible care arrangement.
Managing in-home care for seniors can be difficult and require significant effort. We are here to support you in developing an optimal care plan for your loved ones. Our expert caregivers understand that each individual has distinct needs and preferences, and we are always open to working with you to find the best solutions. Your feedback is instrumental in helping us enhance our care continuously. Whether your loved one needs assistance with household chores, specific medical care, or just a companion to spend time with, we have the resources to meet all their needs.
