Seniors·At·Home is dedicated to helping seniors to live independently in a safe, comfortable and supportive setting. Independence, however, doesn't mean having to do it all alone. Whether you need a little or a lot, Seniors·At·Home can help you or your loved one.
In-Home Assessment
You are not like anyone else. Neither are your needs for care. That's why Seniors·At·Home starts the care coordination process with a personalized intake to ensure we understand all that is needed. When you call, our specialized intake coordinator will listen to your concerns and work with you, your loved one, family and medical providers to evaluate available options. At your convenience, Seniors·At·Home will come to your home to review those aspects of your residence and lifestyle that impact your ability to live a safe, healthy, independent life. Together we will examine:
- Physical and emotional health
- Social activities
- Home safety and maintenance needs
- All prescription and over-the-counter medications
- Needs for transportation, housekeeping, meal preparation, running errands, bathing, dressing, etc.
- Financial resources and need for assistance managing finances
Plan of Care
Once the in-home assessment is completed, Seniors·At·Home will prepare a personalized plan of care. This plan, which we will review together:
- Outlines specific areas of concern we have identified
- Recommends actions that will address these concerns
- Establishes a timeframe for implementing the plan of care
Implementing the Plan
Seniors·At·Home helps to fulfill the plan of care using in-house resources and/or by coordinating outside resources. In addition to the activities listed above, we can help:
- Provide counseling
- Address issues of isolation, lack of social support, senility or the onset of dementia
- Complete applications for financial assistance and government programs
- Determine eligibility and complete applications for transportation assistance
- Provide money management/personal affairs assistance
- Evaluate housing needs and assist with housing choices, including move coordination
- Provide volunteer visitors
- Coordinate services with family, physicians and other community services or health care providers
Monitoring and Follow-Up
Seniors·At·Home provides regular progress calls to update the family, caregivers and/or medical providers. Once the plan of care has been put into place, many families find it reassuring to have professional caregivers continue to provide oversight and basic "check-in" with the senior on a regular basis. The status of the senior, as well as any problems or new concerns, are conveyed quickly to the person(s) responsible for care. A typical ongoing monitoring plan may consist of one home visit per month and three monthly phone calls to the family or caregiver. Seniors·At·Home will work with you to provide as much or as little monitoring and follow-up as necessary to ensure your confidence and satisfaction.
