Our Home Care Process in Richland

Your loved one deserves personalized support to live life on their terms. To make sure they receive it — and that your family is supported too — we'll take you through the following steps:

• An introductory discussion - The first step is to contact us directly and provide some information about your loved one's needs. In this initial conversation, we can go over our services, billing, scheduling, and how we may be able to help. 
• An in-person consultation - Next, we can visit your loved one at their home, accompanied by any family members who wish to be involved. We'll ask your loved one about their needs, concerns, and preferences. We'll also assess their physical and cognitive state, get a sense of their living situation and the support they need, and answer your family's questions.
• A plan-building process - In consultation with your family, we'll use what we learn from the evaluation to shape your loved one's custom care plan. 
• A caregiver selection - We'll then select and introduce you to the care professional on our team who seems like the best fit for your needs.

Once we have a care plan in place and a caregiver selected, we can begin providing the day-to-day assistance your loved one needs to thrive. We'll also continue to monitor their condition and check in with your family so we can make any adjustments as needed.

Alzheimer's Care and Dementia Care 

The symptoms of Alzheimer's disease and dementia can put your loved one's health and safety at risk as they progress. Our Alzheimer's care and dementia care services can help your loved one to live safely at home where they are most comfortable.

This type of care can include transportation to appointments, meal planning, mentally stimulating companionship, wandering prevention, and medication reminders. Our caregivers can also keep an eye on your loved one's state of mind. 

What is Respite Care?

How long has it been since you had time to rest and tend to your own needs? Taking care of yourself is as vital for your loved one's well-being as it is for your own.

With respite care, you can take time for self-care while your loved one is looked after by one of our caregivers. Respite care is ideal for temporary coverage to help family caregivers avoid burnout. 

Companion Care and Social Care

To combat loneliness and help your loved one feel more connected to the world around them, we offer Companion Care and Social Care as part of our care offerings in Richland. Our care professionals can visit regularly for lively conversation, interesting outings, and other activities. They can also help your relative use social media and technology more easily.  

Palliative Care

It can be hard to stay positive when someone you love is being treated for a life-threatening health issue. We offer a holistic palliative care service to provide physical, mental, social, and spiritual relief for clients and their families in Richland. This type of care is available at any stage, including right after the initial diagnosis. 

End of Life Care

If your loved one is nearing their end of life transition? We can provide comfort and a sense of calm through our End of Life Care program. Our caregivers can provide emotional and logistical support for your family while also providing care for your loved one. With our assistance, you'll be able to focus on your relationship during this emotional time. 

Safe & Steady Fall Prevention

Falls result in more serious injuries among seniors than any other cause. Our home care includes a robust fall prevention program to help reduce this risk for seniors living at home. We can provide walking assistance, determine your loved one's personal risk factors, and suggest basic fall-proofing methods for their home. 

Ready Set-Go Home

If your loved one has been hospitalized due to an illness, injury, or operation, we can help reduce their risk of readmission once they get home. Our Ready-Set-Go Home program includes support at the hospital and at home. From making sure your family gets the answers you need about follow-up care to helping your loved one follow their discharge instructions, our caregivers will be there to provide the assistance you need.
