There are quite a few home care companies and private pay individuals competing for your business.  Educating yourself is the best way to understand the differences and determine which one meets your needs best.

At ElderCare 4 Families, we stress the importance of working as a team with our clients to provide the best care possible, from caregiving to billing and from communication to due diligence.

1. Graceful Aging Program (GAP). Our Senior Advocate conducts the initial assessment of each client prior to starting care. At the first meeting, they will develop the plan of care and continue to update it during every visit. Based on the needs of each client, the Senior Advocate routinely visits to ensure the wishes of our clients are always met.

2. Safe4Hire. This program is unlike any other in our industry. We go above and beyond the competition to ensure we hire only professional, ethical and dependable caregivers.

3. Accountability. Our caregivers are required to clock in and out through a monitored telephone system called Telephony. Once the caregiver has clocked in, the Telephony system calls back to verify their location. This ensures billing and payroll are accurate and all shifts are covered. If a caregiver has not clocked in, the Telephony system will notify our staff to cover this shift, no matter what time of day or night.

4. Matching Clients with Caregivers. It is important that each client is staffed with the best caregiver to fit their needs. We want to build trusting relationships with our clients. We carefully evaluate our caregivers’ skills and strengths when matching them with clients, and continue to monitor the relationship to ensure it remains a good fit.
