They were about to help us really quickly. The nurse that they had was great.
From what I know, they were able to schedule us last minute and my mom really liked working with the nurse they sent her.

Home Instead went above and beyond my expectations when it came to caring for my terminally Ill father. From beginning to end, the communication level from everyone I encountered was exemplary, and each of the caregivers that assisted my family was kind, caring, and compassionate. We even had instances when our caregivers stayed past their scheduled departure time because they knew we needed the extra hand. They were truly angels, just when we needed angels the most.

<p>From the very beginning, we wanted to keep things simple. We wanted to provide the most personalized service available, so our clients could stay at home comfortably for as long as they choose. After taking a look at how home care was structured both at home and around the world, we found one resounding theme among home care recipients: people want consistency and customization. For this reason, we implemented our One-Client One-Caregiver Concept and assigned each client to their own Care Coordinator. We went a step further by keeping case loads for Care Coordinators as small as possible, so that they have ample time to get to know all of their clients. In line with our mission to provide the highest degree of personalization, all of our Care Coordinator are available to clients, their families, and caregivers 24/7. They manage and update each client’s ever-changing care plan, communicate with caregivers, and make home visits as frequently as ne cessary.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Our One-Client One-Caregiver Concept is an extension of our emphasis on customization and consistency. After an initial assessment and caregiver placement, we focus on keeping the same caregiver or team of caregivers in place. In this manner, the same, knowledgeable staff is ever-present and random caregivers are never sent. Should there ever be a change in the regular caregivers for any reason, the Care Coordinator or Primary Caregiver will personally introduce the new caregiver to the client. Our client’s comfort is our top priority and we believe home care should not be characterized by a revolving door of providers.</p>

At Living Spring Home Care Services, our mission is to improve the health and quality of life of seniors and adults with disabilities as we serve their needs with dignity, respect, responsiveness, and compassion by providing professional home care services.
<p></p>
Ever since Living Spring Services | Home Care has been in business, we have primarily grown from the positive feedback of our clients and families. Clients consistently site our hyper-personalized and proactive approach as reasons that we exceed their expectations. Our business continues to grow as clients increase hours of services for themselves and recommend us to friends, family, and neighbors. We are able to provide services for as little as a few hours a day all the way up to 24-hour care – and the flexibility to adjust hours quickly as needs change. Recognizing that everyone’s situation is different, we have clients who use our services for the long term as well as clients who benefit from our services for the short term, including while they are in an acute or skilled setting, transitioning from home to a community and vice versa or simply getting to and from appointments.
<p></p>
Our caregivers are Living Spring Services employees; we do not contract with outside agencies. This ensures that our caregivers are screened, trained, and held accountable, to our quality standards. We only hire caregivers with experience and our detailed interview process helps us to know each caregiver’s level of expertise in each of the specific aspects of services that are available to our clients. This level of detail helps to ensure that we are able to match the skills of our caregivers to the needs of our clients. For example, one of the questions we ask our potential caregivers is their level of knowledge and experience in choosing food/menu items and cooking in compliance with a diabetic diet. Knowing this enables us to match a caregiver with a client who is diabetic and benefits from assistance in choosing appropriately from a menu as well as grocery shopping and meal preparation services. We also ask screening questions related to our caregivers’ interests and hobbies so that we can match those with a client’s. We do this because we know having a common interest or experience gives our caregivers additional tools to help keep their clients active and engaged. Caregivers are provided with the care plans prior to meeting their clients so that they are best prepared and to help ensure a positive experience for our clients and families. Any client change in condition or updates are communicated between our caregivers and leadership team in real time both electronically and verbally and are reflected in the care plan.
<p></p>
We have a large enough pool of caregivers to be able to start care within a few hours of receiving a referral. Our Care Manager also has a wealth of hands-on experience as a Case Manager and provides hands-on caregiver training in clients’ homes to help ensure we are providing the highest quality service with the latest techniques and resources. Our Care Manager, also has a vested interest in the health and well-being of all of our clients. She visits each client in their home, wherever that might be, to start care for all new clients. This includes our Transitions Visits where new clients are introduced to their caregivers, care plans are reviewed and confirmed, and expectations are clearly defined. She continues to visit each client regularly thereafter and review caregiver charting to help ensure that each client is getting the right amount of care and service for them at any given time.
<p></p>
Our streamlined process is designed with efficiency and open communication in mind. One call to our main number and our team jumps into action. Families, and your staff, have the peace of mind of knowing that we take ownership of getting services put into place. Our attention to detail helps ensure a smooth transition and positive experience for our clients, families, and team members. Our caregivers chart hourly and are trained to report significant changes immediately. In addition to our communication protocols, we ask for your preferred methods of communication so that we make sure your team has the information they need in a timely manner. As partners, our goal is to ensure that our clients and residents are receiving the care and services from Living Spring Services that they need and that we are coordinating efforts with your team members as well as other involved providers.

<p></p>
We have a large enough pool of caregivers to be able to start care within a few hours of receiving a referral. Our Care Manager also has a wealth of hands-on experience as a Case Manager and provides hands-on caregiver training in clients’ homes to help ensure we are providing the highest quality service with the latest techniques and resources. Our Care Manager, also has a vested interest in the health and well-being of all of our clients. She visits each client in their home, wherever that might be, to start care for all new clients. This includes our Transitions Visits where new clients are introduced to their caregivers, care plans are reviewed and confirmed, and expectations are clearly defined. She continues to visit each client regularly thereafter and review caregiver charting to help ensure that each client is getting the right amount of care and service for them at any given time.
<p></p>
Our streamlined process is designed with efficiency and open communication in mind. One call to our main number and our team jumps into action. Families, and your staff, have the peace of mind of knowing that we take ownership of getting services put into place. Our attention to detail helps ensure a smooth transition and positive experience for our clients, families, and team members. Our caregivers chart hourly and are trained to report significant changes immediately. In addition to our communication protocols, we ask for your preferred methods of communication so that we make sure your team has the information they need in a timely manner. As partners, our goal is to ensure that our clients and residents are receiving the care and services from Living Spring Services that they need and that we are coordinating efforts with your team members as well as other involved providers.

I called Smile & Love and received care from about 3 of their caregivers. They’re very nice people and I’m well taken care of by them. I have them for 4 hours every morning. They usually take me to health clubs and teach me how to walk again. The caregiver that I have now is very observant and very nice.
With the situation concerning my spine, they’ve always given me a caregiver who’s had Suburban or a bigger car. I’m really happy with them. We have had them for about 2 years. They’ve always really done what I’ve asked so I don’t have any problems with Smile & Love.

Determining Your Loved One’s Need for In-Home Care
Aging can be a difficult process, and loved ones may not always ask for help – oftentimes it’s up to their family to evaluate their need for help around the house. While no two situations are exactly alike, this checklist can help you and your loved ones determine when it’s time to start the search for a home care provider.
Guidelines for Talking About In-Home Care
If you’ve determined that your loved one needs the assistance of a care provider in their home, it may be time for a difficult conversation. Handled correctly, however, this process can bring a family together and ensure that everyone’s concerns are addressed. Use this PDF as a starting point to help the conversation stay as positive and productive as possible.
