What to expect
Shant Home Health Care will start with an initial assessment visit to understand your parent's medical condition, medications, and care goals. A care plan will be developed based on your parent's doctor's orders. You can expect regular visits from nurses, therapists, and aides on a schedule your doctor prescribes. Given the agency's rating, establish clear communication from the start—ask questions, report any concerns promptly, and verify that caregivers are properly trained for your parent's specific needs. Request regular updates and maintain contact with the agency supervisor.
