Affordable Senior Care of New York LLC has qualities that distinguish our services from others:
-
Monitoring and Management
We have a phone-based Caregiver Tracking System (Telephony) to actively monitor our caregiving aides. Managerial staff and case workers supervise every caregiver. Both the management members and owners instantaneously receive an alert if, for instance, a caregiver comes late for a scheduled appointment which will be given appropriate and immediate action paired with the round-the-clock supervision of the Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASC) of New York Clinical Registered Nurse when clinical issues arise.
-
Training and Support
We provide formal introductions of all our caregivers to their clients upon their first visit. Introductions are vital to secure the comfort of the client and the caregiver and the specialized training for the caregiver, as per the client’s needs. We provide innovative, unparalleled training and support for our caregivers sometimes on a one-on-one basis.
To keep our status of being a Good Standing Member of The Senior’s Choice—the largest worldwide network of senior care agencies, we intensively train and mentor our caregivers under its mandatory training standards and New York State Health Department’s full standards and regulations.
Our caregivers are given monthly training on how to provide home health care for clients with special needs such as Alzheimer’s, Cancer, Diabetes, Macular Degeneration, Glaucoma, Hearing Loss, Parkinson’s disease, and other senior care needs.
Technology
- Telephony – Using a toll-free number and a caller ID, our private system notifies the management automatically if a caregiver fails to clock in on time for a visit. We know exactly when our aide arrives and departs a client’s home, and are quick to respond to any issues. An automated system ensures our client’s well-being, especially when the family or agency employees are not with a client.
- Medication Reminder Calls – Our specialized automated system reminds clients to take their medications up to 3 times per day.
