5 Steps to Prepare Your Senior Parent for a Home Health Assessment


  1. Create a list of your senior parent’s care needs. As you and your senior parent research home care providers like Synergy HomeCare Corona, Riverside, and Anaheim Hills, create a list of your senior parent’s care needs, as well as your questions and expectations on how your aging parent’s home health needs will be served.
  1. Call. Once you have an understanding of your and your senior parent’s care needs, call to screen home care providers in your community.
