Personal Care
Your personal help plan is designed to meet your specific daily challenges, lifestyle goals, and other personal requirements – with the ultimate aim of helping you maintain an independent lifestyle in your senior years. This means you and your relatives will have a direct say in the personal care you recieve.
It all begins with an initial care assessment conducted by one of our client care managers, and clinical staff. They will meet with you and your relatives at a convenient time to find out more about your lifestyle, daily habits, health conditions, specific concerns, and challenges you have around completing daily tasks, as well as the things you’re looking for in a caregiver. Once we get to know you a bit better, we will take all this information into careful consideration, before designing a help plan that meets your needs.
