It outlines specific tasks and goals for the caregiver.

Once you’ve determined what "Mom's" needs are, the HELPsource nurse will meet with you, "Mom", and your family members to discuss your goals. The nurse will also speak to "Mom’s" physician when necessary. In most cases, the HELPsourcecaregiver will also be present for this assessment meeting. There is no charge for the nursing assessment.

As a result of this meeting, the nurse will create a daily plan of care that the caregiver will follow, with specific tasks and goals outlined. This care plan may be amended at any time when and if the patient’s condition changes. The HELPsource caregiver will then complete a paraprofessional care note checklist with each visit. This checklist will mirror the plan of care. Therefore, if you will not be present when care is provided, you will know what tasks were performed at each visit.
