When care is needed temporarily, for surgery recovery, respite for family caregivers, etc., Elderlink can help.
We begin by conducting an assessment with the client, their family or both parties. The assessment can be done over the phone, or if you prefer, at the home of the client or family member. We will spend time answering any questions you may have, discussing care options, cost and determining if Elderlink is the right fit for you. Once we have determined that Elderlink can help, we will ask a lot of questions about the client to make sure we have a good understanding of their physical and mental condition, the kind of care they need, the home environment, and what qualities in a caregiver are important to them. Based on this information, we will refer caregivers who are able to work the days and times requested. There is no up-front cost or long-term commitment required to begin care. We understand the changing needs of our clients and are committed to creating a flexible working relationship.
Each caregiver undergoes a very thorough, four-part screening process, which includes a multi-state criminal background check, social security trace, abuse registry check, and driving record check. Upon completion of screening and employment verification, we conduct an intensive orientation and interview with each caregiver. During this process, we get to know each caregiver and get an understanding of their experience, skill level, and personality. We work hard to create an exceptional working relationship with each caregiver and make sure they understand how much they are valued and appreciated. We are able to offer caregivers competitive pay, usually above industry average, which means a satisfied and committed caregiver for you or your loved one. All caregivers are bonded and insured.
If a caregiver has an emergency, is ill, or has a vacation planned, Elderlink will refer a replacement caregiver to the best of our ability. We will communicate with family members or the responsible party and keep them informed of any changes. Elderlink makes every effort to refer caregivers that meet the client’s and their family’s expectations and are who competent and able to provide the requested care services. Our client’s satisfaction and safety are our primary concern. If for whatever reason, you feel a caregiver is not a good fit, we will make a change promptly. Elderlink is able to assist in conversations and situations with the caregiver(s) that families may find difficult to navigate. The staff at Elderlink Home Care, Inc. is always working as a team to provide our clients with the best possible home care experience.
