How Our Home Care Process in Easthampton Works
The right care plan should make day-to-day living easier for your elderly parent or spouse while also easing the pressure you feel as their family caregiver. Ultimately, we aim for the services we offer to provide peace of mind for the entire family.
Our home care professionals will strive to meet these high standards by assisting your family through the following steps:
- A phone call to our agency. Reach out to our local office to ask us about our services in Easthampton and give us some general information about your loved one's situation.
- An in-person care consultation. A care coordinator from our office can then visit your loved one's home to discuss their circumstances in more detail. We do this with the goal of learning as much as we can about your family's home care needs and addressing your questions to give you confidence about the next steps.
- Collaboration on the creation of a care plan. During this in-person session, we'll also collaborate with you to draft a care plan that covers each unique need your loved one has. Our goal is to develop a care schedule and service plan that is just right. But it won't be set in stone. We can continuously adapt the care plan as your loved one's concerns change with time.
- Selection of a professional caregiver. Using everything we've learned about your loved one, we'll finally choose their caregiver from our local team. The pairings we make offer the best chance for a lasting and meaningful relationship between the caregiver and care recipient.
- Continuous communication. We'll maintain an ongoing conversation with your family as your loved one benefits from the aid their caregiver provides. From updates to adjustments to the care plan, we'll always be available to discuss your concerns.
As we noted above, we offer a wide range of services. Some of the most common services we offer include those detailed below. If you have questions about these services, or don't see a type of service you are interested in, please call our office to learn more.
Transitional Care Services
Following a hospital stay and consequent discharge, elderly adults face the greatest risk of readmission during the first month they spend back at home. Although certain types of complications are impossible to avoid, some are due to a lack of support or proper follow-through with doctors' instructions. Our Ready, Set, Go Home program gives elderly individuals the assistance they need to sidestep these issues both at the hospital and at home.
Compassionate Companion Care
Do you wish your loved one had someone to keep them company on a regular basis? Are you worried that they have become withdrawn or isolated? A companion caregiver from our team can start building a relationship with your loved one and stimulate interesting conversation that keeps them mentally engaged. Companion care also covers basic assistance with everyday tasks such as laundry or running errands.
Engaging Social Care
Your loved one can be introduced to innovative online tools designed to enhance social interaction. Whether they feel too intimidated by new technologies to get started on their own or they have trouble navigating these apps and online platforms, a social care provider can assist them and help them start reaching out to their friends and family in a virtual manner.
Safe & Steady Fall Prevention
A fall can have negative consequences for your loved one's quality of life and health. In fact, falls are one of the most common factors that lead to seniors losing their independence. We've created the Safe & Steady Fall Prevention program to lower seniors' fall risk at home and offer tailored support that enables them to stay safe and at ease.
Comforting Palliative Care
Our holistic palliative care services offer seniors with life-limiting conditions the support they need to take on each new day. From lowering their physical discomfort to delivering uplifting companionship and emotional support in difficult times, these services cover many levels of aid to focus on making seniors' lives more livable even in the most challenging of circumstances.
Alzheimer's and Dementia Care
When facing memory challenges like Alzheimer's and dementia, our specialized Alzheimer's care services provide a solution that goes beyond the conventional move to a care facility. Seniors diagnosed with memory disorders can comfortably remain at home, benefiting from the support they need while surrounded by familiar surroundings.
Supportive Personal Care
Personal care can help your loved one manage the daily routines and activities that have become a struggle as they've grown older. For example, our personal care providers often lend a helping hand to seniors as they bathe, groom, and get dressed. Mobility assistance and help with stability while walking are also available under this category of care, as is assistance with essential tasks such as meal preparation and picking up groceries.
