Haddon Township Plan of Care
When you are ready to begin senior home care services with Homewatch CareGivers of Haddon Township,
we will need to have one of our nurses write a plan of care for you. Our
professional elder care team will come and meet with you and learn as
much as we can about you, what makes you tick, what do you like and what
do you dislike, what do you need us to assist you with in order for you
to remain safely and independently in your home. Then, our nurse will
come over and perform her in-depth consultation. From all the information
that we gather about you and your care needs, the nurse will formulate
your individualized plan of care. The plan of care is basically the written
instructions for the caregivers as they work with each client. She will
then instruct the caregiver(s) who will be helping you on your wants and
needs, reviewing the care plan with the caregivers and making sure that
their skills match the needs written out in each specific plan of care.
Once the plan of care is done, services can begin!
