"Having provided an unparalleled level of service to those in need of care since 1982, we know a thing or two about ensuring a loved one is kept in good hands. Our new division, Attencia, allows for patients and families to have even greater control over their personal home care experience," said Penina Mezei, of the New York-based home care group.
At the core of Attencia's quality assurance is a thorough screening process. This vetting process sees that only the best applicants are employed to provide quality care. Each of the company's professionals is New York State certified and screened according to New York State Department of Health regulations.
Unlike many other care providers, Attencia guarantees a bespoke service, furnishing each client with a pool of five different profiles of caregivers, from which they can choose the most appropriate. Each candidate is profiled by assessing criteria such as language, temperament, cultural exposure and experience, sensitivity, and companionability. Once the client chooses a personal home care candidate, a registered nurse prepares an initial plan of care which is provided to both the patient and their family, with flexibility borne in mind for periodic reviews and revisions. Attencia caregivers are committed companions, managing a patient's individual daily needs including bathing, dressing, cooking special meals, keeping all appointments with doctors, hairdressers, etc., and running local errands. Personnel are available to assist with very basic tasks, with more complex needs, or simply to provide companionship.
Attencia is suited to patients living with a wide range of conditions including dementia, depression, anxiety disorders, congestive heart failure, diabetes, hypertension, and orthopedic problems. Employees dedicated to caring for those suffering from dementia or Alzheimer's disease undergo additional training in order to ensure they are equipped to provide a high standard of care.
