When speaking of home health care and in-home care, it is most important to know that one size does not fit all. Every client is an individual with conditions and circumstances unique to that client. For that reason, we do not simply dispatch a caregiver upon request–there is far more involved in the selection of a caregiver to ensure competent, compassionate, and consistent in-home assistance.
Clients come to us with many and varying needs: Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementia…Parkinson’s…Diabetes…long-term cancer and dialysis treatment…recovery from falls, stroke, and surgery. For this reason, we insist on an initial complimentary and non-obligatory consultation with our Administrator and Nurse Director of Care Management. During this meeting, we make it clear that our clients’ necessities are our specialties. And this is where care at Aker Kasten becomes truly customized care:
