Steps We Take to Provide in Home Care in New Jersey, (NJ).
Step 1: The Intake Call and Care Plan
When you call or fill out Amorycare's contact form, we gather vital information about your home care needs. We ask questions to get an overall picture of your situation including living conditions, current medications, mobility issues, illnesses or diagnoses. This helps us determine the level of care that is needed. If you select Amorycare as your home care provider in New Jersey, (NJ), we will create an in-home care plan. We will also provide you with information on financial programs that you or your loved one might qualify for to help support care.
Often times, discharge planners, social workers, and health care professionals refer Amorycare of New Jersey, (NJ) to deliver services prescribed by a physician post hospital or illness.
Step 2: Nursing Assessment
If it’s medically necessary, our nurses will conduct a clinical assessment of your or your loved one’s needs. Typically, this is done in the client’s home in the presence of his or her family members. The nursing assessment includes detailed recommendations that become our blueprint for a day-to-day care plan.
Step 3: Making the Right Caregiver Match
Once you approve the care plan, we begin the process of matching you or your loved one with the right caregiver. We take multiple factors into consideration. This includes matching personality types to potentially assigning male aides if regular lifting of a patient is required. We look for caregivers that share your or your loved one’s interests. When possible, we provide caregivers who speak the client’s non-English language. If you or your family is not comfortable with the fit, we will change your caregiver immediately for one more suitable to your needs and comfort level.
Ongoing Supervision and Communication
Amorycare provides routine field supervision and random inspections to ensure safe, competent care and to stress the importance of punctuality, reliability and quality in-home health care. Our caregivers chronicle the care they provide to ensure that all duties are performed and all home care needs are met.
Screening, Recruitment, Education and Training
Caregiving is in many people’s nature, and we look for that special nurturing quality in our employees. Professional caregivers build on their kind, helpful nature with formal in-class and in-the-field training and certification.
