Cypress at Home

Yes, this is quite often the case, particularly when someone suffers from memory loss. While we are professionals by background, we are frequently thought of as an extension to the family. Our focus is rarely just about medicines or healthcare, but rather the person as a whole. Our Aging Life Care Professionals® have been described as ‘warm’, ‘caring’ and even ‘angels straight from heaven’. While refusals do sometimes occur, clients who make an interpersonal connection with their Care Manager over time are more likely to engage.

Our care plans are very uniquely tailored to meet each client’s needs and budget. Our face-to-face time can range from once monthly to more than one visit per week. When individuals are well supported and stable, they may not require as much of our time. When emergencies arise or there is a sudden change in an individual’s status, we are there to jump in and help as is needed. We realize that life is not always predictable, and therefore adjust our time accordingly. Some families have limited resources with which to pay for services. We can discuss your individual circumstances to work out a plan of care that fits your budget.

We begin our services with an initial comprehensive assessment. This is done in the client’s home environment and takes about 2 to 4 hours. During the assessment, we make observations, gather information and identify areas of risk. After the assessment we can provide you with a variety of resources to encourage independence, wellness, safety and overall quality of life.
