Ever wondered why we visit you for an assessment before starting care? 🤔 Our Field Care Supervisor explains the importance of this crucial step in ensuring you receive the best possible care.
Hello everyone! I'm Nyasha, the Field Care Supervisor, and one of the most frequently asked questions I receive as a field care supervisor is, “Why are you coming in for the assessment?” 🤔 This question often arises from a place of curiosity and concern, especially since many individuals are navigating through various stages of their care journey.
Let me take you through our process and how it sets the stage for exceptional care at Anytime Care 2020.
📞 First Contact: Once your care package is set, we start with a courtesy call to introduce ourselves. This is when we gather essential access details and provide you with our contact information, ensuring you know exactly who to reach out to and when to expect us.
🗓️ Scheduling the Assessment: We aim to visit within the first 48hours of initiating the care package. The visit is scheduled at a time that works best for you, ensuring we're starting our relationship with respect for your schedule and needs.
🤝 The Assessment Process: Our assessments are informal yet comprehensive discussions about your health, wellbeing goals, and daily routine. We gather crucial information such as emergency contacts, your GP details, and your medication needs to ensure our care staff are well-prepared.
📋 Creating Your Care Plan: We discuss every detail of your daily tasks, from morning routines to bedtime. Understanding your preferences helps us tailor our visits to your lifestyle and ensure consistency, no matter which care worker attends to you.
🔍 Safety Checks: We also assess your home for necessary equipment like walking frames or alarms and check safety devices to ensure everything is up to date and functioning properly.
📁 Your Care Folder: At the end of our assessment, I’ll provide you with a folder containing all your care documents, clearly labelled with your name and our contact info. It includes your detailed care plan, medication charts if applicable, and even how to provide feedback on our services. As the saying goes, pain is whatever the client says it is.
🕒 Efficiency: The entire assessment usually takes about 45 minutes, but it’s a crucial step to minimise risks and ensure that you receive the best possible care tailored to your specific needs.
