What to expect
When you contact Ascension At Home, you can expect an initial conversation about your parent's condition and care needs. If home health care is appropriate, a nurse will usually visit to complete a full assessment, including medical history, current medications, mobility, and home safety. Based on this assessment, a personalized care plan is created with your parent's doctor. Visits typically occur 1–3 times per week, though frequency depends on your parent's condition. You'll receive regular updates on progress, and the care team (nurses, therapists, aides) will coordinate to ensure consistent, comprehensive care.
