What is a Personalized In-Home Care Plan

When your loved one needs in-home care, a custom care plan will be put into place. This starts from the moment the office is called to set up an assessment until we arrive at the home to put the plan in motion.

Services tailored to specific needs

Home care workers can deliver to your loved one most of what a hospital provides for eldercare. An efficient and certified caregiver can be hired to provide complete caregiving needs. Or, respite care can be provided for the primary caregiver to get a much-deserved break.

There are a variety of health care workers which will provide what is needed to keep your loved one aging in place:

• Home health care aide: These aides provide assistance with activities of daily living. They can also help with shopping, cooking, and laundry.
• Registered nurse: They can make medication changes authorized by the doctor, monitor your loved one and check-up care. They will also monitor more complicated medical treatments during your loved one's ongoing health issues or period of recovery.
• Companion or homemaker: These aides provide light housekeeping, companionship and transportation, and medication management. Physical therapists: These aides come to the home and keep your loved one on a prescribed therapy treatment to aid in recovery.

In-home caregivers are more than just someone to take temperatures and give medication. They will interact with your loved one in an empathetic and compassionate way. They are interested in the lives of the people they care for and will listen attentively. Plus, with an individual custom care plan, it could include painting, going for walks, putting together puzzles or watching old movies.

What are the benefits?

There are many benefits when your loved one has in-home care. One of them is saving money. When an in-home care service provides the services tailored to the care to what your loved one needs, it can reduce the cost of care. Instead of being in an expensive nursing home or long-term care facility, your family member is in their own home.

A personal in-home care plan maintains dignity for your loved one. They can receive the care they need in the privacy of their own home. Your senior doesn't have to share a bathroom or their personal space with another person which is common in a care facility. Plus, they won't have a different caregiver every day assisting them with personal care needs. It will be someone they will develop a trusting relationship with at home.

Your loved one being able to age at home with in-home care can be soothing. They have the familiarity of their home; they can sleep in their own bed and enjoy the memories their home brings to them. All of this can be done, and your family member will still get the care and assistance which is needed.

Being at home can nurture relationships because your loved one can welcome company with no limitations. They can have a private conversation and accept phone calls whenever they want. In-home care can provide your senior with what is needed, and they can still have an active social life.
