Workers Advantage To A Home Senior Staffing Practice

Home Care Path LLC coordinates staff to preform daily chores to prevent the senior from getting so run down they end up in the emergency room or permanently placed in assisted living. When one compares work settings for caregivers the home senior care model has some advantages. Senior care workers have the same person over a longer period of time. The worker gets to know the senior better. This translates into a peace of mind. The worker experiences less surprises and changes throughout the work day. The senior care worker serves one senior at a time. This is very different from say a nursing home setting. In the nursing home a worker will have 10 or more persons to care for. Caring for one senior at a time increases effieciency, effectiveness. The service delivered to one person is superior to the service provided by one worker to 10 persons. The senior care worker has more autonomy. The senior care worker partners with the senior to devlop daily schedules. This improves the seniors comfort level with changes that do occur on a daily basis. Such as blood draw, medication change, provider visit. The senior care model reduces worker stress. Senior care workers are better able to assist the member with provider visits, when a history is present. Home Care Path LLC is a success in the making!
