The FCP Live-In Solely Provides Non-Medical Care to Seniors | There’s No Place Like Home
It’s an established fact the majority of people want to remain at home as they age. After all, home is where we build our families, make precious memories, keep our most cherished possessions and our loyal pets, and visit with family and friends whenever we like. If the thought of placing mom or dad in a long-term facility is filling you with anxiety, the staff at FCP Live-in is here to help. Assisted living facilities are not always the best solution, and a part-time home aide may not provide enough support. But the assistants at FCP Live-In provide the best solutions for seniors to create a “safe place” in the home. They provide personal assistance, homemaking services, companionship, and other assistance for the unique needs of each client. Our assistants are always there to help with your loved one’s daily routine, like walking to the bathroom, medication reminders, and cooking a meal. They communicate with family members and are there to call for help when an emergency occurs.
The staff at FCP Live-In will provide live-in home assistants at every stage of the aging process and in coordination with your loved one’s primary physicians, preferred home aide agency, and other medical providers. This close interaction with the live-in assistant, your loved one’s medical providers, and your family means even subtle changes won’t go undetected. Other benefits to Live-in home assistants include freedom from strict regimens and visiting hours typical of long-term facilities. All of these factors mean very little change in your loved one’s life and less anxiety in yours.
FCP Live-In assistants provide all of the services you might expect from a typical assisted living facility, but the one-on-one relationship offers so much more! Plus, our flat daily rate covers all personal needs and is usually more cost-effective than the rates charged by nursing homes, assisted living facilities, or hourly in-home agencies.
If you’re ready to explore a better option for seniors, give FCP Live-In a call today at 1(866) 559-9492.
Having an FCP Live-In assistant means our clients do not wait for hours to use the bathroom or receive other personal assistance, and they can eat, sleep, and watch TV on their own schedule.
Our live-in assistants will:
- Make daily medication reminders
- Ensure adequate hydration
- Provide escorts to medical appointments, worship services, and social engagements
- Assist with light housekeeping, laundry, and shopping
Caring for only one client gives our assistants more time to engage in friendly conversation and assist with gardening, scrapbooking, or other hobbies. All of our plans include “Living Well,” an exclusive calendar-based program of engaging, relationship-building daily activities designed to encourage a true sense of companionship between client and assistant.
The Cost: Paying for Long-Term Services
No one likes to think about growing older or the possibility of needing long-term assistance.
But according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, there’s a 70% chance that individuals turning 65 will need long-term assistance at some point.
Long-term assistance can be costly, but FCP Live-In is an affordable alternative to an assisted living facility and one of the best options for seniors. Plus, the added benefit of having one-on-one interaction between the client and assistant is not only mentally beneficial but also socially engaging. This type of service makes it easier for an assistant to catch the little things with your loved one that might be missed by an assisted living facility staff member or part-time home aide.
Pricing varies due to location. Call us today, and we can help you explore the options of in-home services for you or your loved one.
Our assistants: Many Say They Are Angels And Should Have Halos
At FCP Live-In, we only hire the best assistants with 2+ years of experience. First, we run in-depth state and national background checks on applicants. We also use a personality profile to evaluate applicants. We then conduct in-depth interviews and invite those who stand out for a third interview. Applicants must undergo and pass our skills assessments and attend a full-day orientation where we further evaluate their capabilities and attitude. These are just a few of the important steps we take to ensure quality service.
At FCP Live-In, we believe in a holistic approach to seniors, with every assistant carefully selected to meet each client’s unique physical, mental, and emotional needs. Our exclusive “Harmony Match” system begins with an expert coordinator —either a social worker or geriatric manager —coming to the home to gain a thorough understanding of your loved one’s physical, mental, and psychological needs, along with their sleeping habits, favorite foods and TV shows, hobbies and interests, and spiritual beliefs. The FCP Live-In operations department uses the results of this extensive process to identify the best assistant for you or your loved one.
Before everything is finalized, your assistant coordinator and matched assistant will travel to your loved one’s home for a personal introduction to ensure we have found the perfect match. We also offer a 5-day opt-out period once an assistant is in place, just in case you decide live-in assistance is not for you or your loved one.
The Assistants: A Commitment to Quality Assistance within the home
FCP Live-In’s commitment to our clients, their families, and their assistants doesn’t end with the placement process. Once we’ve found the perfect match for your loved one, we will reach out to you, your loved one or a family member at least once a week to ensure everything is going well and address any concerns that might arise.
You can also expect the following:
- Assistants with the latest training
- In-depth training and knowledge in a wide array of situations
- A professional channel of communication with all other medical providers, including home aide agencies, skilled nursing facilities, visiting nurses, and hospice providers
- Pop-in home visits from field supervisors to ensure our quality standards are always being met
- A service team that is always communicating with staff, family, and field supervisors to ensure plans are updated promptly to accommodate your loved one’s ever-changing needs
- A 24/7 professional support system
