Who it's for
Advanced Care may be the right fit when:
Memory loss has reached the point where they shouldn't be left alone
Confusion, restlessness or wandering is happening, especially later in the day
Moving, standing or transfers now take more skill to do safely
Parkinson’s or a stroke has changed how they move, eat or communicate
Personal care routines take longer and need more patience
The family's plan keeps changing, and you need a team that can keep up
Seeing one or two of these is a good reason for a free in-home assessment. We'll tell you honestly whether Personal Care is enough or Advanced Care is the better fit.
How we approach it
The right caregiver matters most at this level.
Thoughtfully matched
Experience first
Caregivers are matched to your loved one's needs, with more experienced caregivers for more complex care.
Familiar faces
The same caregivers when we can
With memory loss, a familiar face and voice can make the whole day calmer. We try hard to keep the same people.
Small changes noticed
A note after every visit
Eating less, a new wobble, a harder evening. You hear about it, so you can act early.
Routines that steady the day
Their way of doing things
Meals, bathing and rest at the times they're used to. Familiar routines help on hard days.
The family stays in the loop
Plans that change with them
As needs change, the plan changes with them, without switching agencies or starting over.
Day, night or around the clock
Hourly, overnight, 24-hour
Add overnight care when nights are the risk, or move to 24-hour care when someone needs to be there all the time.
