Castro Valley Plan of Care
Homewatch CareGivers of Castro Valley acknowledges that every person has
unique care needs, which is why a customized plan of care is created for
each client. Each care plan is based on several criteria including the
client’s health and physical condition, any existing ailments or
disorders, personal history, interests and preferences. The plan of care
is also designed to address current abilities and to maintain quality
of life. The caregiver is then matched to the requirements specified in
the plan of care to ensure that the client is provided with companion
care that can help alleviate loneliness or boredom, or more hands-on personal
care to assist with activities of daily living.
