Care management and oversight for seniors and clients

 

 

Care Management and supervision support is the foundation of Chosen Family Home Care’s wide range of senior caregiver services. This support and supervision in greater Philadelphia provides peace of mind to families and allows our caregivers and home health aides to excel.

 

Our Care Managers supervise our caregivers and are always on call. They provide oversight of the care provided, ensuring the effective achievement of senior client outcomes. Whether you have a home health aide or personal care aide, Chosen Family Home Care supervisors will monitor every aspect of the home care assistance your senior loved one receives.

 

In more acute situations, such as during a hospital stay, our Care Managers will communicate personally with physicians, physical therapists, and other medical professionals regarding your family member or loved one’s treatment.

 

After your loved one is discharged from the hospital, the caregiver or home health aide will act under the direct supervision of a Care Manager to ensure that the doctor’s orders and recommendations are followed closely. This is all done to ensure the best chance of success for our senior clients.

 

Transitional care is a very vulnerable time for individuals discharging from one care setting, like a hospital, to the home. Chosen Family Home Care provides heightened home care assistance for seniors in these cases.

 

Comprehensive in-home care assessment and planning process

 

In order to help you determine your loved one’s home care assistance requirements, educate you about our services, and welcome you to Chosen Family Home Care, we take the following steps:

 

1. 1.    Conduct an In-Home Care Assessment
   2.    Make Senior Care Recommendations
   3.    Develop a Customized Care Plan
   4.    Conduct Start-of-Care Caregiver Orientation
   5.    Provide Ongoing Care Management Supervision

 

Our first step in tailoring the right senior home healthcare relationship with your family is to conduct a complimentary in-home care assessment in your residence or discharging medical facility.

 

The goal of these assessments is to identify patient supports needed and ways to minimize safety hazards. We provide no-obligation in-home care assessments to seniors and disabled adults in Philadelphia, Bucks, Delaware, Montgomery, and Chester county communities.

 

After evaluating your family’s goals and the physical and emotional needs of your senior loved one, an experienced Senior Care Manager will recommend a number of hours and level of home care assistance. Your Care Manager will identify the services that best fit your loved one’s circumstances and develop a customized senior home care plan. The care plan will be carried out by a local, highly trained Chosen Family Home Care home health aide caregiver that will adhere to the plan with dedication and care.

 

After developing your personalized care plan, we will choose the most qualified caregiver. They won’t only have the required knowledge, skills, and abilities to be a successful caregiver. We also emphasize a fit in personality and cultural competency when matching home health aides and clients. Upon the start of care, we will facilitate a caregiver orientation specifically tailored to the care plan of your senior loved one. Our Care Managers will supervise the care your loved one receives on an ongoing basis, performing reassessments as needed.
