Caregiver/Family Member Concerns:
Our initial consultation is offered free of charge. We schedule an appointment with a Nurse Care Consultant who meets with the client to discuss their specific situation and how we can best meet each need. We encourage family members or representatives to attend this meeting as well.
Yes, there is a service contract that stipulates the rate, level of care, patient rights, and overall permission to provide home care service to the individual. You may cancel the services being provided at any time. There is no specification or obligation as to the duration of the contract.
Each client is assigned their own Nurse Care Consultant who thoroughly evaluates the care being performed to ensure that services are consistent with the client’s personal care needs. Regular home visits and telephonic consultations are part of the on-going assessment process.
When someone privately hires an individual, they become the employer. With that come liability risks, staffing responsibilities, and quality management concerns. An agency like ours, insures and bonds all of our employees, assigns staffing managers to coordinate consistent staffing measures and monitors quality of care through on-going nurse assessments. With an agency, the client can rest assured their loved one is being well cared for and safe during their absence.
Yes, we send caregivers to hospitals, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities. We provide the same personal care services just as we would in your own home.
No, our fees are set at one constant rate depending on the level of care being provided. Our pricing structure is designed to be simple and straight-forward.
In most cases, care can begin within 24 hours of the time of referral. Personal Touch maintains a large pool of qualified staff at all times and has the ability to respond to client’s needs quickly.
