Personal Care
Personal Care
El Mirador believes that the best care is received in the comfort of our own homes. Since the beginning, we have been able to witness how home care improves the quality of life while maintaining the individual’s integrity and independence. We understand that coming to terms and having the conversation with your loved one that there is a need for professional care can be a tough one to accept. We want you to know that we strives to support your loved one and family so that you can have peace of mind regarding the quality of care that will be received consistently and conscientiously.
Each of our clients receive a Personalized Care Plan are tailored to the individual’s health needs and requirements. We do our best to carefully match each of our clients with a caregiver they feel comfortable around, communicate easily with (bilingual caregivers available) and share similar interests.
What Makes El Mirador Different?
El Mirador requires no hourly minimum for daily care. Our services range can range from just 1 hour to 24/7 care.
El Mirador also offers flexible scheduling to best benefit our client and their families. For example, if your loved one qualifies for 4 hours of daily care, we can schedule hours in the AM and hours in the PM to best serve our client’s needs.
We believe having flexibility to increase the quality of life of our clients will not only benefit and support them, but their families as well.
Each of our clients are entitled to high-quality care that is customized based off their Personal Care Plan created by our one of our highly skilled Care Supervisors. As a commitment to safety, El Mirador will also conduct an in-home safety check and identify any potential hazards so that we may offer solutions to ensure the safety and ease of mobility for our clients.
