How Does Our Home Care Process Work?
Six Clear Steps Toward Personalized Support
Starting care should feel clear and manageable. We listen first, review the participant’s needs, and build services.
Step 1: Contact Our Care Team
Call (272) 332-2993 to tell us what kind of daily support you need. We will answer initial questions about our services.
Step 2: Discuss Current Needs
We learn about the participant’s routine, abilities, challenges, and preferences. This helps us understand the appropriate level of support.
Step 3: Review Eligibility and Service Requirements
Our team reviews relevant service information and program requirements. For HCBS participants, authorized care must align with waiver rules and the participant’s plan.
Step 4: Develop the Service Plan
A written Participant Service Plan identifies approved tasks, goals, schedules, and safety needs. The participant remains involved throughout the planning process.
Step 5: Coordinate Caregiver Support
We arrange a caregiver based on authorized needs and service availability. The caregiver follows the plan while respecting the participant’s established routine.
