McKenney Cares Customized Home Care Puts Your Loved One’s Needs First

When you begin the search for customized home care, your main goal is to find the best fit for your loved one. Whether they’re experiencing self-neglect, mobility challenges, or dementia, you want to provide the right support. However, navigating the many available options can feel overwhelming.

While it’s straightforward to find help for basic needs like bathing, mobility, meals, and chores, it’s equally crucial to address the deeper aspects of care—companionship, empathy, comfort, and dignity. Meeting these needs can significantly impact your loved one’s quality of life.

To age gracefully and happily, your loved one needs caregivers who truly appreciate them as individuals. That’s why finding a provider that collaborates with you to create a customized home care plan tailored to their unique and evolving needs is essential.

Our caregivers focus on building genuine relationships with your loved one, using that connection to offer the warmth and companionship they deserve. When your loved one has a caregiver relationship founded on trust, respect, and friendship, you can feel confident knowing they’re in good hands.

Here’s How We Do It

Collaborating to Create and Maintain a Customized Care Plan

You may have encountered the question, “What does your loved one need?” numerous times during your search for senior care, and you might not have a clear answer. When we work together to develop a personalized home care plan, we don’t expect you to have all the answers. Our team will guide you through the process, asking insightful questions to uncover needs you may not have considered.

As your loved one’s needs evolve over time, it can be easy to miss subtle changes. Our experienced caregivers are trained to recognize these shifts and will keep you informed if the care plan needs adjustments, eliminating any guesswork on your part.

Supporting You and Your Family

While caring for your loved one is our primary focus, we understand that you are also a vital part of the care equation. That’s why we shape the care plan around your needs, goals, and preferences.

If you wish to remain your loved one’s primary caregiver, we can create a respite care plan to provide temporary support, helping prevent caregiver burnout. This ensures that when you need a break—whether for a vacation or due to illness—your loved one is still well cared for.

Genuine Care from Our Caregivers

Building a genuine connection with your loved one is essential. When caregivers focus solely on physical needs, seniors can feel like just another task rather than valued individuals. Our caregivers strive to develop authentic relationships with your loved one.

These friendships allow caregivers to go beyond meeting basic needs, offering warmth and companionship while also identifying subtle changes that might otherwise go unnoticed. These meaningful connections keep our caregivers engaged and positive, making their work truly rewarding.

Connection and companionship are not just nice-to-haves; they are essential needs, just like food, water, and rest. They provide a sense of purpose and fulfillment, especially as your loved one ages.

We go beyond the basics to ensure they receive the kindness and connection that enriches their daily lives, involving you every step of the way so you can feel assured they are in capable, caring hands.
