We cannot guarantee your caregiver will always be available, but we’ll make every effort to have the same caregiver for every visit. We may occasionally introduce a new caregiver so that you’ll always have an available “substitute” who is familiar with your loved one’s needs and with whom you feel comfortable.

When provided with a schedule, our caregivers can remind their clients to take medication at appropriate times, but they cannot assist or administer the medication.

If you or your family member is uncomfortable for any reason, please let us know – you will not hurt anyone’s feelings. The most important thing is that you are happy and feel comfortable with your caregiver. If you would like us to find a new caregiver, call our office and we will assist you.

On days when your caregiver is unavailable, we make every effort to find a substitute who is also a great match for your loved one. We will call to notify you of the situation.

Yes! We ask that you give us as much notice as possible by calling our office to make any schedule changes.

As soon as you can, call our office to let us know the specific situation and an estimated length of hospital stay. We can help by providing our Companion Services, during which a member of our care family will stay with your loved one, so you can get some rest. We can also assist with the transition to home and making sure they are following the steps recommended by their doctor once in-home care resumes.

You can start or cancel services at any time.  When possible, we ask that you provide a two-week notice for discontinuing services.
