What Our Home Care Process in Richmond Looks Like

While there may be common frustrations among seniors, each individual has a unique set of needs. What could our home care in Richmond look like for your family? It all depends on your loved one's particular needs and how we can best support them.

To fully understand your situation and craft a personalized care plan that fits your family, our team will guide you through the following:

• First contact. It all starts with you. Call our office to talk to a care professional about your situation and ask about specific services and costs of care. 
• In-depth consultation. A Care Manager will meet with your loved one and other relatives who wish to be involved. During this no-cost assessment, the care professional will evaluate your loved one's physical and cognitive state, take note of their personality and interests, and work with all of you to get a clear sense of your overarching care needs.
• Plan building. Your consultation will be the basis of your loved one's unique care plan, from the specific services offered to the exact schedule. Keep in mind that this plan can be changed alongside your family's changing needs.
• Working together. We'll suggest a specific caregiver from our team who we believe will be best suited for your loved one. Your caregiver will begin providing care and assisting your family based on the care plan we developed together. 
• Ongoing reassessment. To make sure your loved one is truly thriving, we'll continue to monitor their condition and care, so we can adapt quickly to any change in condition or preference.
