When interviewing home care agencies about dementia services, asking thoughtful questions is key. Consider asking:
What training do you provide caregivers on dementia, safety and managing behaviors? Rigorous instruction is vital.
How will you handle situations if my loved one refuses care or resists assistance? Look for patience and empathy.
In what ways do you provide caregivers with emotional support? This difficult work affects them too.
How specifically will you create a tailored care plan for my loved one? Customization is crucial.
How often will her care plan be updated as her dementia progresses? Consistent reassessment matters.
How do you help caregivers and clients form meaningful relationships? This enhances care.
Thoughtful responses give you confidence in choosing a caring partner you can fully trust.
We start a client relationship by providing a free consultation where together we can explore your individual needs and offer the most helpful and appropriate care plan.
