FC CAREPARTNERS are 
dependable, compassionate, and dynamic.   As motivated professionals, they enter our program with the hopes of becoming life long learners in the field of home health care.    

Senior Living Assistance - Menu of Services 

Senior home care is organized into three different subcategories:   Personal Care, Companionship Care, and Supplemental Housekeeping.  When a CAREPARTNER is assisting with activities of daily living (ADLs) such as dressing, bathing, and restroom assistance, they are providing Personal Care.  Companionship Care is concentrated social support with a critical focus on active listening.  Supplemental Housekeeping includes cleaning, organizing, and general support pertaining to household affairs.  After an in-home needs assessment is completed, services from each category are combined to create a personalized CAREPLAN.

                                      Senior CAREPLAN Creation

            Your loved one has developed talents and abilities throughout their lifetime.  Instead of focusing on our client's disabilities, our CAREPARTNERS are trained to build the day around your loved one's abilities.  Sure, a big part of what we do involves strict guidelines pertaining to physical care, but we like to plan the day around activities like gardening, active discussions on current events, walks in the park, sitting outside with 
a good cup of coffee, writing letters, painting, playing games, and hundreds of other 
fun activities that highlight your elder parent's abilities.  During a free in-home consultation, we will show you examples of CAREPLANS and CAREJOURNALS.
