Our Boca Raton office helps Indian River County families discuss additional assistance for a loved one in an assisted living or skilled nursing community. Silver Sitters can review personal routines, companionship and the support requested during a move or an ongoing stay.
Coordinate With the Community Before Care Begins
Discuss the resident’s preferences, the assistance already provided by the facility and the additional support requested. Confirm the community’s arrangements for outside caregivers, the tasks permitted and the schedule before visits begin.
Medical treatment and clinical assessments remain with the resident’s healthcare professionals. Caregiver support should fit the resident’s existing care arrangements and the facility’s instructions.
