- Follow up calls to clients and caregivers to ensure that the Care Plan is accurate and being followed accordingly.
- Personal introductions with each new caregiver, so you can feel at ease when somebody new is coming to your home.
- Supervisory visits at least twice a year.
- 24/7 live Client Care Manager on call to answer all your questions and attend to any concern.
