Getting Started with Assistance Home Care: A Step-by-Step Guide

Choosing the right care for your loved one is an important decision, and we’re here to make the process as smooth as possible. At Assistance Home Care, we understand that each family’s needs are unique, and our goal is to create a personalized care plan that supports your loved one’s health, well-being, and independence. Here’s a look at the steps to get started with our services.

Step 1: Connect with Us

The first step is easy—reach out to us! You can either call our office at 314-466-3227 or submit an inquiry form online through our website: Request a Consultation. Once we’ve received your inquiry, one of our dedicated Care Management Team members from St. Louis, St. Charles, or Chicago will contact you to better understand your loved one’s needs and explain how we can help.

Step 2: Let’s Talk About Your Needs

After connecting, we’ll take time to listen and discuss the specific care needs of your loved one. Whether it’s help with daily activities, specialized care for a condition, or assistance transitioning from a hospital stay, we’ll explain our range of services and answer any questions you have. Our goal is to make sure you fully understand how we can support your family.

Step 3: In-Home Discovery Visit

If it’s the right fit, we’ll schedule an In-Home Discovery Visit. During this visit, our Care Management Team will come to your loved one’s home to assess their environment, create a Personalized Plan of Care, and discuss care scheduling options. This is also when we’ll walk you through the client onboarding process, ensuring everyone is aligned and comfortable with the plan moving forward.

Step 4: Coordinating A Care Start Date

We understand that time matters, especially when your loved one’s needs are urgent. In most cases, care can begin as quickly as next day. In situations where your loved one is being discharged from a hospital or care facility, we can provide emergency start care to ensure a seamless transition and peace of mind.

Step 5: Your Care Team Assembles

Once care begins, we will assign a Team of Care Professionals based on your loved one’s needs. Our compassionate and skilled Caregivers will provide the support needed to help your loved one thrive. Our Team will continue to monitor the care and make adjustments when necessary through regular Quality Assurance Home Visits. We’ll also keep you in the loop with updates on how things are going, ensuring you always feel supported and informed.
