What is a homecare assessment and how does it work?

An initial homecare assessment and Individual Service Plan are required by law for all senior care engagements. Every agency does things a bit differently, but the intention is for our Administrator, a senior care expert, to evaluate the needs of the senior, and to create a plan of homecare. Our Administrator may inquire about diet, medicines, activities of daily living needs (such as bathing, toiletting, mobility), household needs, and social interests of the senior. They also will want to meet your loved one, in order to ensure that our services will cover all of their needs without crossing into skilled nursing or medical needs (Mom's Best Friend is not licensed for such services). Finally, they will review the safety of the home, so that we are able to provide any recommendations needed to provide effective care.

All of this information is used to provide you with an appropriate price quote, and to match your loved one with a compassionate, experienced caregier.
