The Importance of a Personalized Care Plan for Senior Support at Home

When it comes to senior home care, a care plan is not a "one-size-fits-all" approach. It is imperative that each individual has a plan curated to their unique needs and preferences. A care plan is created in collaboration with the individual and their loved one to ensure the plan fits their lifestyle and schedule. The finalized care plan will then be discussed in-depth with the assigned caregiver, ensuring they are the best fit.

What Does a Personalized Care Plan Consist of?

Meeting Unique Needs: The individual's needs will be discussed such as dementia care, meal timings, housekeeping, mobility assistance, etc.

Comfort, Companionship, and Routine: The senior receiving care will be able to maintain their usual routine and comfort at home. A caregiver will be there to provide support and companionship.

Flexible Scheduling: A schedule will be created that works for the senior and their family.

How is it Made?

Complete a Comprehensive Needs Assessment: An in-home assessment is important to ensure the Client Care Manager has a well-rounded understanding of the individual's needs, health, and interests.

Determine Specialized Care Requirements: if the individual requires dementia care, or extra support with things such as bathing, incontinence, or personal care.

Decide a Schedule for Consistent Care: Consistency of care is important. A reoccurring care schedule will be discussed so the individual knows what to expect.

Select the Right Caregiver: The Client Care Manager will selectively match a caregiver best suited for the individual and their needs.

The Importance of a Personalized Plan

Preserve Independence and Dignity: The support of a caregiver helps make life easier and more enjoyable.

Peace of Mind for Family: The family can have peace of mind knowing they have a professional and skilled caregiver on a consistent basis.

Tailored Care: The care plan ensures the individual maintains their preferred routine and comfort.

Consistency: Consistent care from a familiar face is important for seniors to build a strong relationship with their caregiver.
