Ep. 36 | What to Expect When You're Expecting... a Caregiver!

We've talked about what to expect when you're expecting a home visit (Episode 16)... but what about after you commit to an agency and their services and it's finally time to welcome that familiar stranger into the home for the first care shift? We've got you covered! This week, Inga and Julie dive into everything you didn't think you needed to know about preparing for you or your loved one's first scheduled care shift. From establishing expectations to preparing the house, all things seem to lead back to one thing: communication. We want these shifts to be as successful as you do. Help us help you to make it a successful visit by being prepared. — Show Notes: Inga's Uplifting Story of the Week: https://www.kpax.com/news/local-news/flathead-county/extended-stay-residents-in-kalispell-receive-life-changing-gift-days-before-eviction#:~:text=Facebook-,Extended%2Dstay%20residents%20in%20Kalispell%20receive%20life,changing%20gift%20days%20before%20eviction&text=Each%20Household%20still%20desperately%20searching,philanthropists%20Michael%20and%20Jamie%20Goguen.
