Some are surprised by the cost of private home care, which – if compared to hiring your neighbour down the street – is considerably more expensive. While your friend or neighbour may not cost nearly as much, we offer a considerably different professional solution.
- A Care Coordinator is assigned to ensure your needs are understood, supported and communicated regularly with Caregivers and our office team.
- Our leadership team includes a family practice physician that serves as our Medical Director who is available to our team 24/7 to consult with and provide advice as needed. This does not replace your family physician, who has primary responsibility for care, but provides peace of mind if needed.
- A detailed Care Plan is carefully developed to help you or your loved one enjoy life to the fullest extent possible.
- Skilled and compassionate caregiving staff members are carefully screened and matched according to their background, experience and personality fit with the client.
- Caregivers are trained on an ongoing basis through professional online training and hands-on skills by our in-house trainer
- All caregivers have WCB coverage which provides peace of mind as they deliver care in your home (and is required for self-managed care by AHS)
- We invest time and resources to develop and refine processes, procedures and standards of care intended to maximize the comfort, health and safety of you or your loved one at home
- Our award-winning software allows family members, regardless of location, to stay completely “in the loop” with access to the client’s caregiving schedule, assigned caregivers for each shift, daily care notes and profile documents – any time, any place.
- Our friendly office staff support your care through exceptional customer service, timely invoicing and flexible payment options.
- We invest time and resources in our website and social media you and others find out about us and provide educational and informative updates for family caregivers.
- Our company is fully licensed and insured, providing you with assurance in the unlikely event that something doesn’t quite go according to plan.
- Our sister company operates a medical clinic, so while we don’t provide nursing care currently, our leadership team understands healthcare and can help families navigate the system when needed.
In short, there are substantial costs to our business beyond just the caregiver that all work together to make staying at home safe, comfortable and enjoyable. You are paying for ahighly dedicated team of people, technology and systems which provide an exceptional professional solution, delivering consistent care and peace of mind for you and your loved ones. If this is outside your budget, we can refer you to other options which may exist in your area.
