PROCESS
of Placement & Maintenance of Companion Care
The process of setting up companion care is started by contacting
the agency. Our office staff then assesses the need of each new client by using the information shared from the
responsible party or of the client themselves. This can be completed either by a visit to our office of by phone
consultation.
The staff then matches the needs of the new client with the skills
and experience of the existing available Registrants.
When time allows, we can arrange an interview with the caregiver
so that the client and family can meet and be acquainted with one another.
We then coordinate the caregivers; schedules so that the client will have the schedule of care they need and request.
We work diligently to provide replacement caregivers in the event of illness, emergencies, when a regular caregiver
will be absent.
We can adjust the schedule to accommodate the changing needs of the client. Should you request/require less care
than initially set up or if you should need additional coverage not previously requested, we can help.
Because we have a working relationship with our caregivers, we can represent the client or family if a situation
arises that they find it difficult or unpleasant to negotiate with a caregiver. Should you wish to discharge a
caregiver, Guardian can provide a replacement once you notify the caregiver and the agency.
We make our best efforts to refer caregivers that our clients feel are compatible and experienced in the level
of companion care that they request. - If at any time a placement/referral is not meeting our client's needs, or
their family' expectations; we will promptly make an additional referral. |
