What to Expect During Your Free In-Home Assessment with AbbottCare

Deciding to bring in professional home care for a loved one is a big step. That’s why we offer a free, no-obligation in-home assessment. This visit helps us understand your loved one’s needs and gives you the opportunity to ask questions and explore your options — with no pressure and no commitment.

Why We Offer a Free Assessment

We believe families deserve to make informed decisions about care. The assessment allows us to understand your loved one’s daily routine and specific needs, identify any safety concerns, discuss care options that fit your family’s situation, and help you feel confident about next steps.

What Happens During the Assessment

A care coordinator from AbbottCare will visit your home at a time that works for you. The visit usually lasts 45 to 60 minutes and includes:

1. Getting to Know Your Loved One

• Daily routines (meals, bathing, dressing, medications)
• Mobility and safety concerns
• Memory or behavioral changes
• Social and emotional needs

2. Home Safety Review

• Identifying potential fall risks
• Checking lighting, bathroom safety, and accessibility
• Discussing helpful equipment (grab bars, shower chairs, etc.)

3. Understanding Your Family’s Goals

We’ll discuss what kind of support you’re looking for and what your main concerns are right now.

4. Reviewing Care Options

We’ll explain different levels of care available, discuss private pay options, and answer any questions about scheduling, caregivers, and costs.

What Should You Prepare?

You don’t need to do anything special, but it can be helpful to have the following ready:

• A list of current medications
• Any recent hospital discharge papers (if applicable)
• Questions you want to ask
• Other family members who would like to join the conversation

After the Assessment

After the visit, we will review our findings with you, provide a recommended care plan (if appropriate), and give you a clear, written quote with no hidden fees. You are under no obligation to move forward.

Why Families Find This Helpful

A free in-home assessment helps families get a realistic picture of their loved one’s needs, understand what kind of care is available, compare options without pressure, and feel more confident about making decisions.
