You may know that you or a loved one needs help, but may not know exactly what type of care is needed, or even what is available. Our experts can help guide you through this process, by evaluating you or your loved one. We complete a thorough assessment to gain a full understanding of the issues and concerns faced by the client and caregiver. Our registered nurse case manager along with their primary care physician will assess the seniors' needs as well as those of the family members involved and recommend appropriate guidance to ensure that your loved one is safe and secure. The assessment will target options that are available and that best fit the client/caregiver relationship and include:
- Medical history of the client
- Social and psychosocial issues
- Needs for financial and legal planning
- Caregiver support needs
- Home safety issues
You will receive a written report, which will detail our individualized findings and recommendations to ensure that you or your family member is safe and secure. Based on the suggested plan, you can decide what steps you would like to take next.

There are many advantages to receiving healthcare at home. Seniors remain in their familiar, comfortable environment and don’t have their lives disrupted by a move. They also receive the full attention of caregivers who are solely concerned with their particular health needs. What’s more, the breadth and effectiveness of home healthcare has been greatly extended by advances in technologies such as home infusion, telehealth medicine, and the Internet. Treatments that once could only be performed in an institutional setting are now commonplace at home. |
