Home Care Services

Complete Care Strategies is a distinctive non-medical in-home care company that provides the resources, guidance, and care to help clients live life to the fullest – either in their own home or in their senior living community.

First, our team of professional care managers and nurses will design a comprehensive, personalized Home Care plan that is tailored to meet the unique needs, values, goals and wishes of each individual. Then, our highly qualified and carefully selected caregivers will provide appropriate help and companionship.

By assisting with the tasks required to successfully live at home, we foster independence and provide strategies that allow for the optimal quality of life, as defined by the client and his or her family.

Caregiver Duties

Our in home caregivers provide a wide array of services that help clients confront the changes and challenges of aging as well as other ongoing health issues. Ongoing monthly nursing supervision helps to assess the client’s needs and supervise the caregiver. Services include:

• Medication oversight
• Meal preparation and shopping
• Non medical in home care
• Laundry services
• Light housekeeping
• Personal care (help with dressing, bathing, transferring, grooming)
• Transportation
• Disease-specific interventions for clients with dementia, Parkinson’s disease, diabetes and MS
• Follow-through with Physical Therapist’s instructions.

Caregiver Selection

Our caregivers are intensively screened and fully bonded and insured. If we recommend them, you can count on them to be dependable, conscientious and compassionate. The process includes:

• Thorough screening of prospective caregivers prior to the first interview
• Criminal background check of all caregivers
• Physical exam, including TB testing
• Contact with and comprehensive interrogation of a minimum of two references
• Bonding of all employees
• Ongoing mandatory continuing education and onsite education and instruction
• Continuous supervision of caregivers by our nursing staff.

Caregiver Scheduling

Our caregivers can provide the coverage you need when you need it – day, night, or round-the-clock:

• Coverage for anywhere from 4 to 24 hours per day
• Live-in care giving
• Care for limited occasions or respite

Hospital stays are not what they used to be and care coordination may seem overwhelming. Often, we are sent home too soon or unprepared for what lies ahead. Particularly among older people, the rates of readmission are one in five among Medicare recipients (Department of Health and Human Services).

According to the New England Journal of Medicine, The Medicare Payment Advisory Commission has reported that preventable readmissions might account for $12 billion per year in medical costs! None of us would choose to return to the hospital if we could have the support to avoid it.

Complete Care Strategies wants to curtail preventable readmissions. Our team of professional health providers has developed one of the most comprehensive transitional programs to support our clients and those caring for them. Our unique approach to non-medical home care integrates the skills of social workers and nurses to provide ongoing intervention during the 30 day period that is an ear mark of success in avoiding the revolving door from hospital to home and back again.

Care needs often change over time. Our professional staff is a phone call away to answer your questions and provide ongoing input, resources, coaching and support. And in the event that in-home care is no longer appropriate, we can help you identify alternative living communities and provide assistance with all aspects of the move. Whether you live in Philadelphia, or in a surrounding suburb, Complete Care Strategies, a state-licensed agency, stands ready to provide compassionate care.
