TheKey Care Approaches

Message to field: Use your own expertise and client context; the tool can’t capture every situation. This range is a starting point to understand what level of support is commonly helpful based on the information entered. Use it to guide the conversation, then tailor the schedule to the client’s routines, preferences, and how much care family is providing. Care should feel personal, starting with the hours we recommend and clients and families should feel seen and heard with what they have told us about their needs. For example, when needs suggest higher hours but family is covering much of the care and wants to continue doing so, it is totally appropriate to recommend shorter targeted or respite support that fits the household.
