Hello!

During the initial consultation, a care coordinator will meet with your loved one and family members in the home to determine if home care services are needed or beneficial. 

Our coordinators are skilled in discussing personal care concerns with dignity and respect, offering information and resources to enhance safety, quality of life, and overall well-being.

Key questions the assessment answers:

• Is your loved one able to live safely without assistance? If physical or mental challenges make independent living risky, professional home care can mitigate these dangers.
• Can your loved one maintain comfort without assistance? Some seniors may manage physical difficulties independently but endure discomfort. Home care can ease this discomfort by aiding with specific tasks.
• Can your loved one sustain happiness without assistance? Without support, many seniors may miss out on daily activities that bring them joy. An in-home caregiver can offer companionship and facilitate engaging activities.

Comprehensive In-Home Assessment

At Tri-County Home Care of Florida, your health and well-being are our top priority. Our mission is to provide the best possible home care experience for your loved one. Our free, comprehensive in-home assessment evaluates individual needs and living conditions to create the most effective care plan.

An in-home care assessment is the foundation for planning personalized care.

 We consider the client’s physical and mental health, daily challenges, and unique needs to create a detailed care plan. This plan serves as a “road map,” guiding caregivers on when and how to perform specific tasks for your loved one.

The home care assessment also includes:

• A walk-through of the home to identify safety hazards and fall risks
• A discussion on how to optimize the home for maximum safety

Following the assessment, our team collaborates with the client and their family to determine the appropriate care type: skilled nursing, personal care, companion care, or respite care.

Topics covered during the assessment include:

• Physical care needs, such as bathing, grooming, dressing, meals, and mobility
• Emotional care needs, such as social interaction, activities, hobbies, and conversation
• Schedule, including when your loved one would benefit from having a caregiver in the home
• Assistance with daily activities, such as light housework, groceries, laundry, and meal preparation
• Logistics, such as how to access the home, documentation, and other administrative details
• Preferences, such as favorite music, activities, foods, goals, and expectations
