Assessment
 We
will meet with the older adult client and/or those involved, to complete
a comprehensive assessment. We will review the physical, functional,
social, emotional and medical needs of our client. Areas of focus to
each of you will be discussed. Identification of supportive needs will
be reviewed and the current living arrangement will be evaluated.
-
Care
Planning
Upon
completion of the assessment, a comprehensive care plan will be created.
This report will outline recommendations for a safe plan of care. It
will take into careful consideration the senior client's history,
personality and finances. We will provide you with a list of care
recommendations, as well as specific services and facilities that will
best meet your needs. Additional referrals to medical, legal or
financial professionals may be required and will be made based on
current needs.
-
Implementation
The
next step will depend on your preference. We are happy to present you
with our written care plan, which you can implement yourself or, if you
would prefer, we can implement it for you. We can arrange all services
and see that every detail is attended to.
-
Monitoring
In
addition to putting the services in place, we can also provide on-going
monitoring. We provide care coordination, scheduling, supervision and
advocacy for our clients. We can be your eyes and ears and keep you
informed on a regular basis. We can stay involved as long as you would
like.
-
Ongoing Evaluation and Reassessment
As
we stay involved with the monitoring of our senior client, we will
periodically reassess the care needs, and when appropriate, recommend
adjustments to the care plan. In order for you to feel comfortable with
the care you or your loved one is receiving, it will be important for us
to remain in regular contact. As part of the contracted service plan, we
are available by telephone, faxes, E-mail, and mail.
