What we won't do
So as to avoid all conflicts of
interest, we will NOT:
- hire or pay caregivers,
home attendants, or home health aids;
- manage the client's finances or advise on investments;
- serve as legal guardians or conservators;
- witness or subscribe to legal documents for the client or family;
- act with Power of Attorney for medical or financial matters;
- advise on religious activity, attendance, or membership;
- advocate for contributions to charitable or political causes;
So as to secure the privacy and dignity of clients, we will NOT provide information about their physical, cognitive, emotional, or financial status to anyone outside the immediate family without the explicit consent of the client and/or family.
So as to forestall
suspicions of larceny or theft, we will NOT
ask that the client be furnished with a fund of petty cash.
Instead, we will invoice for all incidental expenses. We will
also, at the family's request, conduct a home inventory
of valuables, with digital photographs if desired.
So as to prevent delays
in care and supervision, we do NOT
bill Medicare, insurance companies, or other third parties.
We invoice the family directly twice a month, at rates
agreed upon in the signed contract.
So as to ensure quality of care and quality of life, we will NOT treat any client as a mere cluster of symptoms and complaints.
