When someone you love has a chronic or terminal illness, it’s natural to want to know they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for—especially when you can’t be there every day. Our Wellness Checks combine warm, compassionate companionship with professional nursing care, giving your family peace of mind and your loved one the support they deserve.
What Are Wellness Checks?
Wellness Checks are regular visits that offer both caring companionship and professional health monitoring for seniors with chronic or terminal illness. Whether your loved one lives alone, with a spouse, or in a care home, these visits help ensure they’re doing well and keep you informed about any changes.
Each visit includes:
- Genuine companionship and meaningful conversation
- A complete nursing assessment, including vital signs
- Help manage medications and refills
- Clear health education and support
- Careful documentation shared with family and caregivers
How We Help During Each Visit
Companionship That Makes a Difference
We spend 60 minutes with individuals or up to 90 minutes with couples. This is not a quick check-in but a focused, caring time for your loved one’s comfort, concerns, and well-being.
Professional Nursing Assessment
We conduct a thorough nursing check every visit, monitoring vital signs and any changes in health. We document everything and inform the family or the power of attorney, so you always know how your loved one is doing.
Medication Management Made Simple
Managing medications can be confusing and overwhelming. We help by:
- Calling in prescription refills to the right pharmacies
- Filling and organizing medication planners
- Making sure medicines are taken safely and correctly
Education When You Need It
New medications or treatments can feel overwhelming. We offer clear, gentle explanations about:
- How new medications help your loved one
- Instructions to follow after hospital stays
- Changes in health conditions
- What to expect as illness progresses
Who Benefits From Wellness Checks?
Our Wellness Checks are perfect for seniors who:
- Live alone and could use regular professional check-ins
- Live with a spouse who also needs support and monitoring
- Have family members who live far away and worry about daily care
- Need help managing complex medication schedules
- Want someone with medical training to watch their condition regularly
- Enjoy companionship and meaningful conversation
Flexible Scheduling That Works for Your Family
We know every family’s situation is different. Our visits can be scheduled:
- Monday through Friday for daily support
- Weekly for regular monitoring and companionship
- Every other week for ongoing check-ins
- Monthly for less frequent but steady support
- As needed for special concerns or changing conditions
Where We Provide Wellness Checks
We serve Madison County, Kentucky, and consider nearby counties like Fayette, Clark, Estill, Jackson, Rockcastle, Garrard, and Jessamine on a case-by-case basis. If you’re in one of these areas, please reach out—we may still be able to help.
Emergency Support When You Need It
Your loved one’s safety is our top priority. If we discover any urgent health changes during a visit, we have clear emergency plans:
- If hospice is involved, we contact the hospice team immediately and notify your family
- If hospice is not involved, we call 911 if needed and keep your family informed
- In all situations, we make sure your loved one gets the proper care quickly
Clear Documentation and Communication
After every visit, we leave detailed notes on-site so other caregivers and family members stay informed about:
- Vital signs and health observations
- Any changes in condition or new concerns
- Medications given or refills ordered
- Educational topics we discussed
- Suggestions for ongoing care
Part of Complete, Compassionate Care
Wellness Checks work beautifully with our other services to provide comprehensive support during life’s transitions. We can also help with advance care planning, end-of-life support, grief support, illness navigation, legacy projects, and medication reviews—creating a complete care plan that addresses all your loved one’s needs.
Peace of Mind for Your Family
When you choose our Wellness Checks, you’re choosing more than medical monitoring—you’re choosing a caring partnership that helps your loved one feel valued, supported, and safe.
