Home Care Intake

Comforts of Home

A Simple, Supportive Start to Home Care

Starting home care should feel simple, supportive, and stress-free. Our non-clinical home care intake process is designed to help us understand your needs and create a personalized care plan that fits your lifestyle, preferences, and goals. Whether you’re seeking care for yourself or a loved one, this first step ensures we deliver the right level of support from the start. Contact us today to get started with a personalized intake and compassionate home care support.


What Is the Intake Process?

The intake process allows us to gather important information needed to safely and effectively provide non-clinical home care services. During this step, we learn about daily routines, personal care needs, household support, and any special considerations that may impact care. This helps us match each patient with the most suitable caregiver and develop a customized plan of care.


What Information We Collect

During intake, we may ask for details related to:

  • Patient Information

    • Name, address, and contact information
    • Emergency contacts
    • Preferred care schedule
    • Living arrangements and pets in the home

  • Daily Living and Personal Care Needs

    • Assistance with bathing, grooming, or dressing
    • Mobility and transfer support
    • Toileting or incontinence assistance
    • Meal preparation and eating support

  • Lifestyle and Preferences

    • Daily routines and habits
    • Food preferences or dietary guidelines
    • Hobbies, interests, and companionship needs
    • Cultural, language, or religious preferences

  • Safety and Home Environment

    • Mobility limitations or fall risks
    • Use of assistive devices (walker, wheelchair, shower chair, etc.)
    • Areas of the home that may require additional safety attention

  • Health-Related Information (Non-Clinical)

    While we do not provide medical care, we may ask general questions to support safety and comfort, such as:


    • Conditions that affect daily living
    • Medication routines (for reminders only, not administration)
    • Recent hospitalizations or changes in condition

What the Intake Process Does Not Include

Our intake process does not replace medical evaluations and does not include:


  • Medical diagnoses or treatment decisions
  • Medication administration
  • Skilled nursing assessments


If medical or skilled care is needed, we can help guide you to licensed healthcare providers.


After Intake: What Happens Next?

Once intake is complete:


  • We review all information carefully
  • A personalized non-clinical care plan is developed
  • A compatible caregiver is selected
  • Services are scheduled and confirmed


Care plans can be adjusted as needs change to ensure ongoing support.


Your Role in the Intake Process

To help us provide the best possible care, we ask patients and families to:


  • Provide accurate and complete information
  • Communicate any changes in needs or routines promptly
  • Maintain a safe, respectful care environment


Open communication helps us deliver consistent, high-quality care. Reach out to our team for guidance or to begin the intake process with confidence.
