How to Talk to a Loved One about Starting Home Care

Talking to a loved one about in-home care can be a difficult and daunting task, however, sometimes it is a necessary conversation. Recognizing when your loved one needs more help in their daily life can spark conversation around in-home health care versus a long-term care facility. It can highlight the need for change in order to remain at home safely if staying at home is the goal.

Kore Cares Home Care Services in South Dakota

At Kore Cares we make it possible to get customized care to meet you and your loved ones needs, helping them remain at home and as independent as possible. Each of our care plans are made to fit each of our clients and what they need, we are not a “one-size fits all” company. While your loved one may not recognize their need for extra support, we provide services for the smallest tasks to make their lives a little bit easier. Kore Cares offers a variety of services including housekeeping, meal preparation assistance, assistance with activities of daily living (bathing, dressing, and grooming), transportation and grocery shopping assistance, companionship visits and nursing services including medication management. Our goal is to turn our clients into family and build strong connections that allow your loved one to live a safe and comfortable life at home.

When speaking with a family who is wondering about how to take the first step, we always recommend starting small and establishing the relationship. That way if a more urgent need arises, everything is in place, and we are just a phone call away. We can always increase or decrease services once started, and we can go from as little as an hour a month to as much as 24 hours a day.
