Determining whether your loved one can benefit from private duty care is a decision that can only be made by your family. Caregivers often initiate private duty care to aid them in the care of their loved one and keep their loved one in the comfort of home. Liberty Private Care Services can provide information and education that can help you make an informed decision. This starts with evaluating whether:

• We believe that the individual’s nursing and social needs can be met adequately by our private duty staff.
• The patient’s residence supports his or her well-being.

Examples of candidates who may meet private duty care criteria include:

• Clients who need help with daily living activities (bathing, housekeeping, etc.)
• A client who has had a recent fall
• New physician diagnosis
• A client who needs companionship
• Recent exacerbation of a previous diagnosis or illness
• Introduction of a new medicatio
• Changes in medication dosage
