The following, listed in alphabetical order, is a brief description of all the services.

Assessment (Initial) and Regular Visit by a Professional: An initial wellness assessment addressing physical, emotional and social concerns can be performed by a licensed professional, which serves to identify the needs of the client, as well as acting as a baseline for future assessments provided on a monthly or quarterly basis. This can be done by a Care Manager or RN, depending on the level of need by the client. The findings of these visits can be communicated to the caregiver via a password driven login on the Easy Living Website, e-mail or a phone call.

Care Management: Our Geriatric Care Managers are experienced professionals who assist older adults and their families in coping with the challenges of aging and in the planning of long term care. Care Management may include:

• Act as a liaison to long distance caregivers by regularly communicating their family member's progress or alert them of any problems.
• Care planning assessments to identify the problems and needs that require services.
• Screen, arrange and monitor all home health and other services.
• Provide consumer education and advocacy.
• Offer counseling and support.
• Provide crisis intervention.

Cleaning (House): Qualified and carefully screened professional cleaning companies provide the cleaning component of our services. House Cleaning is based on a 1 or 2 bedroom home up to approximately 1200 sq. ft cleaned on a monthly cycle. If your home is larger, needs special attention, or if you would like to increase the frequency, there may be an additional charge monthly. The regular house cleaning includes:

• Countertops, sinks, & accessories
• Outside of all cabinets & appliance surfaces

Coordination and Scheduling of Services: The detail oriented scheduling of providers and coordinating with the client or family is included. Our experienced coordinators coupled with the eZ Link software offers us the ability to handle multiple tasks in an efficient and expeditious manner.

Direct access to Personal Support & Services: Our state of the art emergency response systems provide our clients, as well as their caregivers, with peace of mind, knowing that someone is available when a need arises, twenty four hours a day. As a client advocate, Easy Living will assist the client to set up services to meet their individual needs, along with access to any services that can be arranged at little or no charge through Social agencies or those that are covered under their medical insurance. The eZ Link software on our Website gives the client or caregivers direct access to services, schedules, and Provider comments if desired with Care Management service and the clients permission.

Doctor House Calls: Getting to the Doctor becomes more difficult as one gets older, especially when one can no longer drive. Many seniors just don't go as often as they should, creating a detrimental effect on one's health. We can arrange for a Doctor or Nurse Practitioner to visit the senior at home. Even a number of basic tests can now be handled right in one's own home.

Home Health Aides: All of our Health Care companies are licensed, insured, and are put through the most stringent background checks. In addition, a personal care plan is provided by a registered nurse, which is carefully followed by the aide.

Homemakers: All of our homemakers work for companies that are licensed, insured, and are put through stringent background checks. In addition, a personal care plan is provided at the beginning of care, which is carefully followed by the staff. A manager will then supervise the aide and the clients care, as required by law, making changes whenever appropriate. The homemaker will be able to take care of normal household chores, such as to preparing meals, lighthouse work, laundry, shopping, errands, and medication reminders, but cannot assist the client with any physical or personal care. With a minimum of three or more hours per day, a homemaker is charged at an hourly rate. The time spent with your loved one provides not only the household help needed, but adds the important stimulation through companionship and activities, along with supervision by a professional.

Medication Management: SafeDose™ organizes your medications at the pharmacy. Your pills are inserted into easy open individual packets organized in sequence by day, date, dose and time to improve convenience and reduce the risk of medication errors. Patients who take medication correctly are more likely to stay well, make fewer clinic visits and require fewer hospitalizations. Also with SafeDose™, your medications are delivered directly to your door. More information

Personal Emergency Response System: Being able to communicate and stay in contact with others is often difficult for individuals living alone. Also called a Medical Alert or Medical Alarm Button, the system includes a waterproof pendant to wear on your wrist or around your neck and base unit. With just a push of the button, the system puts you quickly in contact with a qualified professional 24 hours, 7 days a week for an emergency or to just have someone to talk to from anywhere in your home. As an independent company serving the needs of seniors, we have researched companies, tested the equipment, and evaluated the various systems on the market. We work with the most technologically advanced, quality systems and companies in this field. We evaluate the situation to determine which one is best for our client. More information

SafeDose™ Pharmacy fills the necessary prescriptions that you require with accuracy into dose packets and conveniently deliver them to your home on a monthly cycle.

Recreational Stimulation: A Homemaker prevents an individual from feeling isolated and often offers motivation to take part in recreational activities. They are there to read, play cards or take your family member on a day trip to the mall, movies, beach or museum. They can also do daily chores together such as shopping, errands, or light cleaning, but where no physical assistance is needed. We have found that this type of stimulation can help to increase self-esteem and improve the quality of one's life. If hands-on care were needed, a Home Health aide would be required.

Reminder, Check-up, or Wakeup Calls: The daily, weekly or monthly check-up calls to the client are designed to serve many purposes. The calls open up a line of communication with the client. The client will feel less isolated knowing that they will have someone to talk to on a regular basis. They help to develop a trusting relationship with the client, which then helps with the acceptance of the other needed services. These calls may be set up through the Personal Emergency Systems and used as a reminder service for taking medications, scheduled appointments, or a wake up service.

Transportation: During our research, transportation was identified as being one of the most sought after services. Whether you would like to go shopping, to your doctor's office or to a special event, our courteous drivers will be there for you. A companion, homemaker, or HHA can assist with transportation.

Quality Check: The quality check calls to the client are proactive and designed to serve several purposes. It helps to keep all our services at a level of excellence, helps with the acceptance of the services, and more importantly, makes certain that the client is fully satisfied. Any Providers not meeting our stringent Quality requirements are dropped from our network.

Website Access to Client Services: Family members or caregivers who are providing assistance to an elderly adult in a long distance care-giving situation often do not truly know how their loved one is doing. They also do not always know what services or options are available to their family member. With Website access the caregiver can view scheduled services, such as, reports on the monthly assessment by a professional or provider scheduling of regular visits with the client. Through Care management notes it serves to report the progress or identify the lapses in the client's wellbeing and as a result, may accelerate the caregiver's awareness of necessary care a loved one might require.
