Elder Home Care FAQ
What if my loved one doesn’t want help from a caregiver?
It’s common for seniors to resist care at first. Open communication is key—discuss the benefits and how the caregiver can help them maintain their independence. Start with small tasks and gradually increase assistance as your loved one becomes comfortable.
Can I adjust the level of care as my loved one’s needs change?
Yes, home care services are flexible. You can increase or decrease the level of care at any time, depending on the evolving needs of your loved one, ensuring they receive the right support when needed.
What should I expect during the initial consultation?
During the consultation, a care coordinator will assess your loved one’s needs, discuss the types of services offered, and create a personalized care plan. This is an opportunity to ask questions and ensure the agency can meet your expectations.
