Best part of our day is meeting you and your furry family!
This is one of the best parts of being in this profession, we get to meet you in person before committing to one another! If you have pets no problem! We want to meet them as well!
We offer a personalized service catered to you and your situation. What better way to understand your situation than to see your environment and what challenges you are facing? This meeting is a deeper dive into the specifics needed than our initial discovery call. But, rest assured we will not waste time asking the same questions. We will build your personal chart on the information we already collected. The most important part of this meeting is that you feel comfortable asking as many questions as you can think of! We love questions and are here to give you comfort and peace of mind. We will be focusing on questions about the following topics:
What emotional condition and needs do we need to know about?
No matter what additional services you require, the companion side of what we do is applied to every client we assist. The mental state can affect everything else. We will ask about things like what hobbies, activities, and other things the person we will be caring for enjoys. Then find out what sort of support they need such as memory igniter activities, reminders of appointments, or medication reminders, things like these are important to feel good starting from the inside out.
What physical needs should we be aware of?
Our personal care can help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, transfers, toileting, cooking, shopping, and many other things. We will collect information on what is specifically needed for the person we will be caring for. One size does not fit all in our approach to providing compassionate care.
What about house cleaning? Can we assist you and them with this task?
A clean home can make everyone feel better mentally and physically. We can remove the burden of cleaning so when you spend time with your loved one it is a stress and guilt-free environment. In between daily care, and companion care, there is lots of time through our time management optimized approach. Naps for example provide a great time to start our cleaning chores! We use every moment wisely and it shows in our care and results!
What schedule do you need?
Many people when they hear this schedule think about us as a company and the hours we will assist. But, we start with first your current schedule of activities. We want to adapt our routines to fit the schedules you have and then offer ideas on how to integrate the two for a comfortable in-home life of independence. Once we gather this information we can then build our hours around your needs. We offer full-time, part-time, sometimes, and overnight options. We are available to assist 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and work the holidays as well. We are here to make your life easier, so we build our hours around your needs.
Once we gather the needed information, we revisit our short-listed candidates started on the discovery call. We then look at things like body strength, and love for pets…which most of our caring companion caregivers love! Then look at the interest of your loved ones and our caregivers' hobbies and interest to match those things as well as the distance, and preferences that both you and our caregivers have expressed. If you have had in-home care in the past you will immediately see the difference in our approach and the caring nature of our caregivers and how well they flow in your home. Taking the time to match the perfect caregiver makes all the difference in the world!
