The first crucial step in placing your elderly loved one with caregivers involves a comprehensive assessment of his/her physical and mental well-being. This entails a thorough examination of physical health, including any chronic conditions or mobility challenges and a mental health assessment looking into cognitive functions, emotional well-being, and potential signs of conditions like dementia. We encourage people seeking care to take our free assessment to help evaluate the status of their loved ones as it relates to the ability to perform daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and medication management, and social and emotional needs.

Once we have a good picture of the elderly individual's needs, the next step involves identifying suitable caregivers. This could be professional caregivers, family members, or a combination of both. Assessing the skills, availability, and willingness of family members to provide care is crucial for us to be able to recommend caregivers. We work with professional care provider agencies who receive appropriate training to handle specific medical conditions, administer medications, and understand the unique needs of the elderly individual.

​The final step focuses on creating an environment that supports the well-being of the elderly individual and facilitates effective caregiving. In this step, we team with the agencies and clients we work with to ensure we can be successful at this.

This may include adapting the living space to enhance safety and mobility, such as installing handrails or ramps, medication administration, and activities that promote physical and mental stimulation. Monitoring and communication mechanisms should be set up to ensure regular check-ins between caregivers, healthcare professionals, and family members, enabling prompt response to any changes in the elderly individual's health or needs.

In summary, our placement of elderly individuals with care providers involves a thoughtful and personalized approach, addressing their unique needs while considering the capabilities and well-being of the caregivers. Regular reassessment is key to maintaining an effective and supportive caregiving arrangement over time.
