What Sets In-Home Personal Care Apart from Home Health Care?
Home health care involves medical services delivered at home by qualified medical professionals like nurses, physical therapists, or occupational therapists.
At Destined for Care Agency, our caregivers do not offer medical services; they do not administer medication or change wound dressings. Instead, our non-medical home care services focus on providing companionship and support with daily activities such as grooming, dressing, toileting, light housekeeping, meal preparation, and running errands.
Does Destined for Care Agency Offer Services in Assisted Living Facilities?
Yes, Destined for Care Agency does provide its services in assisted living facilities. Typically, staff in these facilities care for multiple residents during each shift. To supplement this care, some families choose to hire a professional caregiver from Destined for Care Agency to provide additional support as their loved one's needs evolve, potentially increasing the duration or frequency of care.
A caregiver from Destined for Care Agency offers extra assistance, helping your loved one maintain their current residence and level of care for a longer period. This support can delay or prevent the need to move your loved one to a different part of the facility, where they might experience less independence and face higher daily care costs.
Is It Possible to Modify the Home Care Schedule?
Yes, you can adjust the home care schedule as needed. The priority is to create a schedule that fits your family's needs, rather than the agency's convenience. While a week's notice is typically required for permanent changes, Destined for Care Agency recognizes that unforeseen circumstances may necessitate immediate adjustments. Our coordinators will make every effort to accommodate emergency changes and ensure the schedule meets your requirements.
