Starting Your In-Home Care Journey: What You Can Expect
Comfort Keepers Home Care offers an easy, transparent process to starting the in-home care journey for you and your loved one in La Mirada, CA and the surrounding areas.
Getting care for ourselves or loved ones is a major change. Comfort Keepers® makes it easy. Our step-by-step procedure helps you and your loved one express expectations, plan for the future, and feel secure in your care decisions.
Our home care services are tailored to each individual's needs. We focus on mind, spirit, and health. Your Comfort Keeper will engage your loved one by doing things with them instead of for them. Each Comfort Keeper strives to Elevate the Human Spirit and bring joy to our clients' daily lives.
From Comfort Keepers' first call to their first visit, here's what to expect.
Our first call—what happens?
Your Care Coordinator will begin this call by asking about your loved one's care needs and home surroundings. Even if you don't know what to do next or what aid you need, they'll guide you through these early stages.
We want everyone to feel comfortable, so now is the time to ask questions. After answering your initial questions, we schedule a Care Consultation via phone, video, or in-person.
Care Consultation—what happens?
Comfort Keepers believes in-home care improves lives and helps seniors continue their favorite hobbies. Our Care Coordinators get to know your loved one and their needs because their requirements may vary.
This casual discussion will cover how they manage their everyday lives and any areas where they may need help, such as nutrition, personal care, and companionship. To connect elders with carers, your Care Coordinator will ask about preferences, hobbies, and care needs. Our empathetic Comfort Keepers give our clients confidence and security to live at home.
Your Care Coordinator will also assess the home and provide safety recommendations.
How do we make a Plan of Care?
In-home care is tailored to clients' emotional, physical, and social requirements. We build a care plan and match clients with carers based on likes, dislikes, interests, abilities, and restrictions.
The Plan of Care can include assistance with activities that elevate the human spirit, bring joy, or enhance seniors' lives, such as meal preparation and nutrition, laundry and light housekeeping, medication reminders, personal care and grooming reminders and assistance, mental health and wellbeing companionship, using technology like computers or smartphones, and transportation to appointments, errands, and grocery shopping.
Our services focus on physical needs and overall wellness to give everyone who needs care the best life possible, regardless of age or care level. We're always ready to modify the Plan of Care as care needs change.
When will your Comfort Keeper arrive?
Your Care Coordinator will call to introduce your Comfort Keeper and explain the first visit. Family members can meet their loved one's Comfort Keeper on the initial visit.
After introducing everyone and reviewing the plan of care, relax and get to know one other. Building trust between your loved one and their Comfort Keeper starts here.
The first Comfort Keeper visit—what to expect?
People often question what the caregiver will accomplish daily or on their first visit. Some elderly are afraid to ask for help. The Plan of Care calms everyone because they know what to expect.
Interactive Caregiving is what our Comfort Keepers do with, not for, your loved one. Seniors stay involved and fulfilled by discovering new interests and developing true relationships every day. For peace of mind, your Comfort Keeper can add photos and messages to the online family site.
Post-visit follow-up?
Your Care Coordinator will call after your Comfort Keeper's first visit. They will inquire how it went, how your family and the Comfort Keeper got along, and whether any quick modifications are needed to improve future visits.
Key step. After seeing their Comfort Keeper, everyone may honestly assess the Plan of Care and ask questions.
We emphasize family and client communication. We're always accessible to discuss issues.
Care review—what happens?
Our clients' in-home care needs change. Your Care Coordinator will evaluate the care plan every 3–6 months or sooner as needed. This method involves your Comfort Keeper. They monitor changes that may require care modifications. We ensure that you or your senior loved one receives exceptional care, preserves independence, and, most importantly, continues to find joy in life, which inspires greater wellbeing and elevates the human spirit.
