There are a couple of things about this blog post that we should spend more time discussing on this blog, but I will have to skip discussing using In-home caregivers for post surgery care and focus on their section about the benefit of finding an In-home care company that provides individual assessments. As they state in their article:

If you or a loved one is in need of in-home care services, a reputable company typically begins the process with a care assessment. It’s likely you’d prefer an in-home care company that delivers personalized attention, tailored to their clients’ individual needs and wishes. Care assessments involve analyzing a patient’s situation, and offering solutions and outlining options for them and their family. At a trustworthy caregiving company, nurse’s assistants and other trained medical professionals collaborate with patients, family members, and one another to deliver only the best, most effective care to each of their clients.

I couldn’t agree more.  Having a professional (usually a nurse) do an assessment before care starts and any time you elder care needs change, is a key to success.  The more you and your caregiver understand your wants and needs, the greater you will be satisfied with your in-home care service.  Again, this is one of the differences in using a professional in-home Care comany as opposed to just hiring someone yourself.
