Services Description
1. In-Home Assessment of Need - Free consultation
The first service begins with an in-home consultation of need-this to determine the need for assistance and what actual services we will provide. Our assessment involves paperwork, demographics, and plan of care. This service is helpful to the senior and the family as it may raise needs they did not realize we can fulfill (for example, transportation to dr. appointments may not have been an issue when the client called to obtain service, but after the assessment, the client may realize this service can relieve a family member from this task.)
