What to expect

The process typically begins with a phone conversation where you describe your parent's situation. A clinician then visits your parent's home for a thorough assessment, reviewing health history and current abilities. Based on this visit and your parent's doctor's orders, Elara Caring develops a personalized care plan specifying which services, how often, and what outcomes you're working toward. Visits happen on a schedule coordinated with your family. Throughout care, you'll receive updates and can ask questions; the team communicates about progress and adjustments needed. If your parent's condition changes, the care plan can be modified. Most families work with a primary contact at the agency who knows their situation.
