Our Visitation Program consists of visits to private homes.  This service can provide distant relatives reassurance that their loved ones are receiving appropriate care, and that their needs are being met in their current environment. Visits will be made by nurses, social workers, or whatever appropriate level of staff is needed to assess a client’s needs and care. Visitation staff can assess the following:

• The safety of elderly individuals living alone
• Medication management
• Living conditions
• Health status
• Adequacy of resources

Visitation staff will contact the legally responsible party with pertinent information and submit regular reports regarding findings. They may also assist in setting up a new plan should one be needed. Utilize this service to give you the peace of mind you seek.

We coordinate our services with all referral sources and agencies as well as family members.
