Care Plan Development
We plan and
establish services allowing our clients to continue living at
home for as long as possible, at the highest level of
independence, and in an environment conducive to preservation
of dignity and quality of life.. Should living at home
cease to be an option, we will research all available
resources and recommend the most appropriate alternative in
the least restrictive environment.
Unique Features
Key elements of
our approach that set us apart from others in the industry
include:
-
Comprehensive care plans which address all needs
(medical and social), essential to maximize
quality of life and prolong self-sufficiency. (For
more information about our geriatric care credentials and
our links to community services, click

Medicare Home Health).
-
A
planning process focusing on quality service,
affordability, and conservation of financial resources.
-
Coordination
and integration of the highest quality of community services
appropriate to individualized needs. (One size usually
does not fit all, and when it does, it is almost always
costs more).
-
Professionally trained social workers experienced in
identifying exactly what kind of needs must be met to
maintain and prolong independence.
-
A
specialization in navigating the social service and health
care systems to identify and access all available resources
(private or public and at all levels of government or
organization).
-
An
interactive planning process including caregivers which
produces produces:
-
A
comprehensive assessment (identifies needs)
-
An
initial plan of care presented in conceptual terms to
be reviewed, revised, and approved by the elder and
caregivers (identifies the type of services
necessary to address needs). This report becomes a
"blueprint" for the selection of the most appropriate and
cost effective combination of available resources.
-
An
operational plan of care with specific recommendations
for implementation (sets priorities, identifies service
providers, establishes reporting process for feedback,
and presents a plan for eliminating the need for ongoing
MSWS "management" services).
Overview of Services
