Generally, in order to implement our services, we will follow the following guideline and steps:
Step 1: In-Home Assessment & Establishing Goal
Upon the initial phone call, Paradise Home Care will make an appointment at the prospective client’s home with our intake coordinator to assess your individual needs.
Step 2: Identification of Health Care Problems & Needs Assessment
The client’s health and ADLs (activities of daily living) are reviewed to determine the appropriate care plan. If the client’s needs require a higher level of care, we will assist you in making the appropriate referral.
Step 3: Planning & Implementing a strategy of care
Plan of Care and Signing the Agreement
Going over the written care plan developed by nurse, social worker and or case manager, that outlines specific services appropriate for the new client complete with specific instructions. The plan is reviewed with legal guardians or other responsible family members and signed for immediate or future service.
Step 4. Delegation & Supervision of care
Caregiver Selection and Orientation
Our care coordinators will match a caregiver with a client based on skills needed for care, personality, and availability. Caregivers are oriented to the client with detailed explanations of special needs and requirements.
Step 5. Maintaining Safe & Effective care
Monitoring and Review
Our Care Coordinator calls caregivers and clients to monitor care, client condition, and provide additional assistance. Regular visits are made to client’s homes to frequently review the care plan and assess the client and caregiver relationship. Caregivers perform daily documentation of client’s care and special needs and relay any special occurrences based on their observation to our Nurse Supervisor for discussion with families and guardians.
Step 6. Evaluating responses to interventions
In an effort to assist you in determining if situations arise, for example:- non-life threatening occurrences such as non-injury falls, medication errors /reactions etc. and you or your caregiver think that you might have one of these categories to report, you can go ahead and do so, or call our Team for guidance. We will take the necessary steps to alert all the concerned parties.
Step 7. Collaborating with other healthcare professionals
We have an interdisciplinary team of professional and paraprofessional staff who analyze each client’s needs, develop care plans and deliver all services. The interdisciplinary team assumes all responsibility for each client’s full range of care. The benefits of using our services would be realized in two fashions:
1. Reduction in the number of hospital visits.
2. Averting premature or continued institutionalization
