What a personalized care plan includes
A care plan serves as a single, accessible document that explains the client’s needs, preferred routines, safety considerations, and the caregiver’s responsibilities.
- Initial assessment summary: current health conditions, medications, mobility level, and cognitive status.
- Daily care tasks: personal care, grooming, medication reminders, meal assistance, and mobility support.
- Medical coordination: medication lists, contact details for physicians, and instructions for scheduled appointments.
- Home safety notes: fall risks, necessary adaptations, and emergency procedures.
- Family communication plan: preferred contact methods and frequency of updates.
When you request a care plan, we provide a printed copy and a digital version so family members and professional caregivers can reference it at any time.
How we develop the care plan
The development process is straightforward and documented. Each step is focused on clarity and measurable actions.
Services aligned with the care plan
Care plans are paired with the appropriate in-home services so the plan can be executed reliably.
- Companion care — social engagement and supervision.
- Personal care — assistance with bathing, dressing, and hygiene.
- Medication support — reminders and coordination with pharmacies.
- Light household tasks — meal preparation, laundry, and maintaining a safe environment.
- Transportation coordination — ride arrangements for appointments and errands.
Each service is scheduled based on the plan’s needs and reviewed periodically to ensure the client’s goals are being met.
