More Care FAQs
We understand that every detail matters when it comes to your parent's comfort. If you're still wondering about the specifics, these answers will help clarify how we support your family every step of the way.
How do you ensure the safety and quality of your caregivers?
Every caregiver undergoes a rigorous multi-step screening process, including comprehensive background checks, personal interviews, and professional reference verification. We only hire individuals we would trust with our own aging parents, prioritizing both skill and deep empathy.
What if my parent's needs or schedule change over time?
Our care is designed to be as fluid as life itself. Whether your parent recovers from an injury and needs less support, or requires more frequent check-ins later on, we can adjust the care plan immediately. There are no rigid restrictions on scaling care up or down.
How will I stay informed about my parent’s wellbeing?
We believe transparent communication is the key to your peace of mind. Your care coordinator will provide regular updates according to your preference—whether that’s a weekly call, an email summary, or direct calls—so you are always connected to your parent’s daily life.

The first visit is all about building a gentle introduction. We focus on establishing rapport where the caregiver gets to know your parent’s personality, favorite daily habits, and home environment, ensuring they feel safe, respected, and heard from the very first hour.
Do you require us to sign a long-term contract?
Independence and trust are our priorities, which is why we do not require long-term commitments. Our services are provided on a flexible basis, allowing you to maintain care for as long as it benefits your loved one without the pressure of a binding agreement.
