Entry into A Touch of Care begins with a phone call requesting service.  Payment sources are verified for each client and family.  Then our professional RN will schedule an appointment for a complete in-home assessment of the client and family needs.  The Registered Nurse assessment visit allows gathering of medical information regarding the client's functional abilities, medications, nutritional status, and specific care requirements. From this information, the RN will write the client's individualized Plan of Care.  Our caregivers will follow this Plan of Care in assisting your loved one with care at home.   

In Home Aide Services: Care and service will be delivered in accordance with the client's Plan of Care, written by our RN.  Caregiver duties may include, but are not limited to the following:

• help with prescribed exercises which the client and Aide have been taught by an appropriate professional;
  
  
• provide or assist with personal care (i.e., bathing, mouth care, skin, hair);
