Personalized Home Care Plans for Older Adults

Dovetail Advocacy for Older Adults creates personalized home care plans for aging adults living in Waukesha County.

To start we offer a free phone consultation. During that conversation we can find out what a client or family member wants and determine if we can meet that need.

Next, we will meet face to face with the client and any family or friends he or she wants involved. We will listen to what is important and needed from the client’s perspective.  We may observe the client’s routine and ask questions about what would make the client feel safer and more independent at home.  We will talk to family or friends to learn about any concerns they may have.  This initial meeting lasts 1-2 hours as we take our time to get to know the client and their family so that we can understand everyone’s unique situation and what’s valuable to them.  

Following this meeting we will put together a personalized written assessment that includes recommendations for immediate and future needs.  The assessment considers what the client wants to continue doing and advises options.   We can research what Medicare will and will not pay for and the cost of uncovered services to help you figure out how to proceed.

When the client is ready, we can locate providers and make calls to doctor’s offices, insurance companies or local businesses.  From there Dovetail Advocacy can coordinate appointments and stay in touch to make sure things go as planned.
