Assessments, Planning, and Home Safety
At Caremosphere, we understand that effective in-home care starts with a thorough understanding of your unique needs. Our comprehensive Home Safety Inspection and Risk Assessment are integrated into our in-home care assessment process to craft a personalized care plan that aligns perfectly with your specific situation. Working closely with individuals and their families, we determine the most suitable care type—whether it’s skilled nursing, personal care, companion care, or respite care.
Key Areas Covered in the Assessment:
- Background and Demographics: We explore the reasons for seeking at-home care, along with demographic factors that influence care needs.
- Daily Living Activities: We evaluate the individual’s ability to perform both Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs), determining the level of assistance required for tasks such as dressing, bathing, eating, medication management, and more.
- Health and Safety Needs: A thorough examination of medical conditions, allergies, mental and behavioral conditions is conducted to optimize the care environment. This includes inspecting safety features and equipment to ensure a secure living space.
- Pet Care and Risk Mitigation: We address pet care requirements and develop customized strategies to mitigate any risks, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment.
- Matchmaker Questionnaire: Understanding your preferences to perfectly match you with a caregiver who enhances the quality of your care and companionship.
