Caregiver training and matching
Before a caregiver is assigned, Compassion Home Care reviews the duties included in the participant's plan and confirms that the caregiver has the required training and demonstrated competency.
Matching also considers communication, language, schedule and personality whenever possible, because personal care works best when the participant is comfortable with the person providing it.
If the need changes
Care needs shift. Tell the office and we will review the schedule, the plan and, where required, the authorization with the participant's program or health plan.
