The phone call often starts the same way: “I’m worried about Mom living alone, but she refuses to leave her house.” We understand. The tension between safety concerns and respecting independence is one of the most challenging aspects of family caregiving.
At AlestaCare, we specialize in bridging that gap with home care services designed specifically for Charleston area families facing this delicate balance.

Understanding Your Concerns

The Fear of Lost Independence

“What if getting help makes them feel helpless?” This concern keeps many families from seeking home care services, even when safety becomes a daily worry. Our approach preserves autonomy while providing necessary support, allowing your loved one to remain the decision-maker in their own life.

Family Guilt and Caregiver Stress

“I should be able to do this myself” is something we hear from adult children. The reality is that quality caregiving often requires professional support, and seeking help is a sign of love, not failure. Our respite care services provide family caregivers the relief they need to avoid burnout.

Safety Worries at Home

“What if they fall when they are home alone?” Nighttime falls, missed medication, cooking accidents; the list of potential home safety concerns can feel overwhelming. Our trained Charleston caregivers provide vigilant, professional oversight that reduces risks while maintaining the comfort and familiarity of home.

Our Family-Centered Process

1

Initial Consultation Call

Your AlestaCare journey begins with a comprehensive phone conversation where we listen to your concerns, understand your loved one’s needs, and explain how our home care services may provide the support your family is seeking.

2

In-Home Assessment Visit

A Care Coordinator visits your loved one’s home for a detailed, face-to-face assessment. This allows us to understand the physical environment, observe daily routines, and build rapport with your family member in their comfortable setting.
3

Personalized Care Plan Development

Based on our assessment, we create a detailed care plan that addresses specific needs while honoring personal preferences and maintaining established routines. This plan serves as our roadmap for providing consistent, quality care.
4

Caregiver Matching

We carefully match your family with a caregiver whose personality, experience, and availability align with your needs.
5

Client Journal

Caregivers update the Client Journal after each visit, recording important elements that occurred during the visit including an overview of all services provided, how the care recipient was during the visit, and any other items of importance for the Care Plan. The Client Journal is typically digital and available to the client and those authorized by the client.
6

Ongoing Communication and Support

Regular check-ins, care reports, and open communication ensure your family stays informed and confident in the care being provided. We proactively address concerns and adjust services as needed.
7

Quality Assurance and Improvement

Continuous monitoring, family feedback, and regular caregiver supervision ensure care quality remains consistently high. We’re committed to ongoing improvement and excellence in everything we do.
