In-Home Caregiving Services

A Care Manager is a social worker, nurse, gerontologist, or mental health professional who acts as a guide for families as they navigate the aging process. They have in-depth knowledge of healthcare and related complex systems, including health insurance, referrals, housing and transportation support, transfers to specialty and rehabilitation care, financial issues and more. The bottom line is that Care Managers enhance the quality of caregiving services. They provide unbiased advice and expertise in the assessment, plan development, coordination, and monitoring of elder care services to ensure the highest quality of care.

Professional Caregivers can support seniors at home in a variety of ways, including companionship, personal and hygienic care, medication reminders, meal preparation, transportation, and light housekeeping. Caregivers can provide support on an hourly basis or on a live-in basis.

At Arosa, we know that the integration of care management and caregiving at home leads to higher satisfaction for individuals and their families. Our senior care services combine the expertise of professional Care Managers with the compassion and skills of dedicated Caregivers to deliver better experiences for seniors and their families.

One significant benefit of care management is peace of mind. Most people feel that they should be able to manage all aspects of the eldercare situation, but there are so many moving pieces that it’s no easy task. Having somebody who has both the experience and the training across many disciplines makes a real difference and can provide great relief for family members.

Another benefit is that having a Care Manager at your side can help you use your time and money wisely. Care managers can also identify where a client might be at risk and create interventions to lower that risk.

There are a variety of ways to engage a caregiver. The first option is to hire someone privately. The second option is through the use of a registry, which is a type of organization that provides you with a list of candidates. The third option involves using an organization that acts as the home care agency.

The last—and most beneficial—approach to home care is a care-managed agency.
Arosa is a care-managed agency. A care-managed agency:

• provides more quality assurance
• pays special attention to home care issues
• looks at every aspect of your loved one’s situation to determine how we can enhance quality of life, reduce risk, and create a better home care experience.
