Home Care Assessment
A home care assessment is a comprehensive evaluation conducted to determine a person’s care needs and create a personalized care plan. A Paragon representative will visit your residence to capture your care needs, daily tasks and activities, medication needs, and any other requests or preferences to help us find the ideal caregiver match for the assignment. This is a conversational and collaborative process that helps maximize the client’s experience with home care.
Key Components of a Home Care Assessment:
- Daily Living Needs – Assessment of personal care tasks (bathing, dressing, grooming), meal preparation, and household chores.
- Mobility & Safety – Evaluation of fall risks, home hazards, and the need for assistive devices.
- Social & Emotional Well-Being – Consideration of companionship needs and mental health concerns.
- Family Support & Preferences – Understanding the role of family caregivers and the individual’s preferences for care.
- Medical History & Health Condition – Review of chronic conditions, medications, mobility issues, and cognitive function.
Why Is a Home Care Assessment Important?
- Ensures the right level of care is provided.
- Identifies potential safety risks in the home.
- Helps Paragon identify the best caregiver to match each client’s personalized care plan.
- Provides caregivers information for escalation of issues/concerns to family members or medical professionals if needed.
