Personal Services - Frequently Asked Questions

Who needs in-home care?

People who need additional help with their daily living activities and want to stay at home rather than be institutionalized or live with relatives. In other cases, it could be people whose family caregiver needs a respite or time off from their care giving responsibilities

Do you provide care in facilities also?

Yes. We can provide our caregivers to attend to your loved-one in hospitals, assisted living facilities, nursing homes, long-term rehabilitation facilities and other places.

Can I meet the caregiver in advance?

Of course. Part of our service is being able to match the right caregiver with the personality of your loved one. We cover this topic during the initial interview so we can get a head start on selecting the right caregiver. We are very good at building relationships.

Why should I use your service instead of someone in the newspaper?

There are multiple reasons why selecting Lifecare Oklahoma is your most beneficial option:

Our caregivers are our employees - That means they have been carefully screened and are bonded and insured. You don't have to worry about the quality of the caregiver, the burden of employment taxes, or about the liability of having someone in your home - we take that responsibility.

We have backup - If the caregiver is sick or has an emergency, we have someone ready to step in his or her place - so you don't have to!

We have trained professionals on our staff - Besides our caregivers, we have a trained, professional in-house staff to ensure our operations run smoothly and to address any of your concerns while we are caring for your loved one.

We continually monitor the relationship - From the first day of service, we create a detailed "care plan" that our staff uses to ensure we are achieving the care goals specified during the assessment interview. We follow-up with the client and caregiver on a regular basis.

What is "caregiver burnout"?

Caregiver burnout is a state of physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion that may be accompanied by a change in attitude - from positive and caring to negative and unconcerned. Burnout can occur when caregivers (usually a family member) don't get the help they need, or if they try to do more than they are able. Caregivers who are "burned out" may experience fatigue, stress, anxiety, depression and loss of work.

We would be more than happy to discuss our caregivers with you as well as the services they provide. Please don't hesitate to contact us to find out more information.
