How Preferred Lifestyle Services Selects & Manages a Care Giver

1. PLS REVIEWS IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS BEFORE INTERVIEWING THE WORKER IN PERSON.

• A current certificate for Home Health Aide certification in Florida.
• A current certificate for healthcare clearance from a board certified physician stating the worker is free of communicable diseases and is able to move appropriately for all assistance your loved one needs.
• A current photo I.D. issued by governmental or licensing organization.

2. PLS DISCUSS YOUR NEEDS AND WANTS WITH THE AGENCY, THEN DISCUSSES THEM AGAIN WITH THE CAREGIVER DURING THE INTERVIEW.

• PLS does not assume the agency has communicated our client’s needs to the worker. We start from scratch and outline all expectations and duties you expect to be carried out. We request continuity.

3. PLS SUPERVISES & MANAGES ALL DETAILS OF YOUR LOVED ONE’S CARE, INCLUDING THE CAREGIVER.

• PLS regularly reports to & consults with families & physicians.
• PLS provides caregiver instructions: MD’s, medications, telephone numbers, food preferences, care directives, enjoyable activities.
• PLS continuously re-evaluates your loved one’s needs.
