When
you hire a caregiver for yourself or a loved one you want to know that it is
safe to have them in your home and also that this will be a positive experience
for all parties. We have invested in training caregivers, checking on the
backgrounds of our employees, requiring CPR/first aid certification, and we
offer you the chance to interview the prospective caregiver in advance.
Once
a caregiver is in place, they will be part of creating a customized care plan
that takes into consideration the unique preferences and interests of the
client. This is about quality, not quantity, so we can be there as much or
little as needed.
At Homewatch CareGivers of
West Los Angeles, we believe that having a plan of care is essential to ensuring
that our clients receive the care that they need and want. Our planning begins
with a detailed assessment, developed by a nurse and enhanced with the Eden at
Home principles. We’ll talk through where you are with the basics of health:
eating healthy meals, getting enough to drink, taking medications accurately
and on schedule, getting physical exercise, getting mental and social
stimulation, and making sure those things that are simple pleasures in your day
don’t get overlooked. We’ll talk about activities of daily living and
whether any help is needed with bathing, dressing, grooming, feeding,
toileting, and walking. We’ll discuss the household activities that keep
a house running, such as grocery shopping, getting to appointments, doing dishes,
sweeping and vacuuming, laundry, etc. Then we’ll produce a detailed plan
of care that we’ll all use as the guidelines for what we’ll expect of the
caregivers working with you. We do this free of charge when you contact
us for a free assessment.
