How Is In-Home Personal Care Different Than Home Health Care?
Home health care is medical care provided in the home by a trained and certified medical professional, such as a nurse, physical therapist, or occupational therapist.
True Blue Supportive Care Services caregivers do not provide medical care and will not assist with tasks such as administering medication or changing wound dressings. Non-medical home care services will provide individuals with companionship and assistance with activities of daily living, such as grooming, dressing, toileting, light housekeeping, meal preparation, and errands.
Can I Change the Home Care Schedule?
Yes, you can change or alter the home care schedule. The goal is to make the plan work for you, not the agency. Although one week’s notice is asked for permanent schedule changes, True Blue Supportive Care Services understands unexpected changes are sometimes necessary on short notice. Coordinators will do everything possible to ensure you get the schedule you need to accommodate emergencies.
