For families

If you're arranging care for someone you love

Maybe things have been getting harder at home, or you live too far away to help every day. Here's what you can expect from us.

  • You'll have a named contact at the agency for questions.
  • Visit summaries come on the schedule you agree to, with arrival and departure times recorded.
  • We tell you about changes in routine, appetite, mobility or mood, and about falls or injuries promptly.
  • When a caregiver can't make it, we arrange the replacement and let you know.
  • We only share personal details with relatives the client has agreed to, and with the right authorization.

For you

If the care is for you

Getting help at home doesn't mean giving up how you like to live. You stay in charge of your day.

  • You decide what help you want. Your care plan lists what we'll do and what we won't.
  • Your routines come first, like how you start the day, what you like to eat and when you go to bed.
  • Bathing, dressing and toileting are done with your privacy and dignity in mind.
  • Your family only hears what you've agreed to share.
  • When your needs change, we sit down and review the plan with you.
Call with a question

What's going on at home?

Pick whatever sounds closest. We'll show the kind of help that usually fits, and you can read the details of each service further down.

Coming home from the hospital

The first days back home are usually the hardest. We can help with meals, bathing and dressing, getting around the house and rides to follow-up appointments, and keep the family posted on how each day went.

Services that usually help

A note from Tale

I run TaleCircle so that older adults, and anyone who needs a hand with daily life, can keep living at home. Around their own things, on their own routines and with their dignity intact.

Our caregivers help with the practical parts of the day: washing and dressing, meals, the house, errands and some company. We're a non-medical agency, and I'd rather be upfront about what that means than overpromise, so there's a section further down on what we don't do.

Before the first visit we sit down with you and your family, write the care plan together and agree on how you want to hear from us. If you're not sure we're the right fit, give me a call and we'll talk it through.

Safety and keeping family informed

What we don't do

We're a non-medical agency. These are the lines our caregivers don't cross, and we'd rather you know them before the first visit than find out during one.

  • No clinical procedures

    Our caregivers don't insert catheters or do other clinical procedures unless it's separately authorized and done by a qualified professional.

  • Reminders, not administration

    We remind clients when it's time for their medication and help them get to the containers. We don't give medication, choose doses or change prescriptions.

  • Observation, not diagnosis

    We notice and report changes. We don't diagnose, read clinical results, adjust treatment or offer medical monitoring.

  • Only safe lifts and transfers

    Caregivers won't attempt a lift or transfer that's beyond their training, the equipment in the home or what they can safely do.

  • Company, not counseling

    Companionship helps with social well-being. It isn't a substitute for mental health treatment.

  • Money and medical decisions stay with you

    Caregivers don't make medical decisions or handle finances beyond small tasks you've clearly authorized.

Getting started

Every client gets a care plan based on their own needs, preferences and abilities. This is roughly how we put it together.

  1. 1

    Assessment

    We start with an initial look at daily living needs, mobility and any safety issues around the home.

  2. 2

    Your routines and preferences

    We write down how the client likes their day to go, meal preferences, any dietary instructions and whether medication reminders are needed.

  3. 3

    The written plan

    The plan lists the tasks we'll do and the ones we won't, how often we visit and for how long, emergency contacts and who to call when, and how the family wants to hear from us.

  4. 4

    Reviews

    When needs change we review the plan together and update it.

Questions people ask us

If yours isn't here, call and ask. There's no such thing as a silly question about the care of someone you love.
