Homecare isn’t just for big life moments. It’s also an opportunity for day-to-day companionship and risk prevention around the house. The reasons for starting home care are highly varied and must be weighed in the context of each unique situation.

If you’re unsure whether home care is the right next step, reach out and schedule a consultation with us today. We’ll equip you with the resources and assistance you need to decide if home care is the path for you.

We selectively recruit only exceptional healthcare professionals with specialized knowledge and many years of clinical experience. The majority of our nurses hold a Bachelors of Science in Nursing and have experience in various ICU and critical care units in hospitals in the metro Los Angeles area. Their nursing skills are exceptional, and they are adept at assessing client’s needs, helping make them some of the best home care nurses available.

Yes! All of our Care Companions are licensed and certified Home Health Aides. Our thoroughly trained Care Companions bring a wealth of experience and empathy to the bedside, as well as specialized knowledge about the intricacies of Alzheimer’s and dementia care. Care Companions do not provide medical care, but rather daily companionship and functional assistance.

Our Care Companions can assist with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, meal preparation, and companionship. Nurses provide medical care, such as medication management, wound care, and monitoring chronic conditions.

Legacy Homecare LA is private pay agency. However, we can work with private Long Term Care Insurance policies.

Yes, all Legacy Homecare LA employees are covered under the company’s General/Professional Liability, Medical Malpractice, Disability, and Workers Compensation policies.

We pride ourselves on providing extensive Clinical Oversite.  Your nurse will plan on visiting at least once a month to conduct an assessment, modify the plan of care whenever your condition changes, supervise the caregiver(s) to ensure they are following the plan of care, and confirm everything is running according to plan.

Additionally, your nurse will place periodic calls to your home to monitor your status. There is no additional charge for this service.

While some privately hired caregivers are exceptional, hiring privately has many limitations.

First, finding a private caregiver that is a good fit for you and your family can be arduous. Oftentimes, families need to go through 10-20 caregivers to find one they like. At Legacy Homecare, our caregivers undergo an extensive interview process including a detailed reference check and background check. In addition, if a client is not happy with the caregiver they are matched with, we will re-match the client until all parties are thrilled with the fit.

When private caregivers call out, you are left without any backup, which can be extremely disruptive to both you and your loved one. We have an extensive pool of caregivers to draw from if a caregiver is not able to work on a specific day.

In addition, when hiring privately, you are responsible for setting up payroll, withholding taxes, vetting caregivers, performing background checks, and purchasing sufficient liability insurance to cover accidents and injuries in the home. Without performing these tasks, you open yourself up to significant liability.

Lastly, every Legacy client is overseen by an experienced RN who is available to consult with you and your loved ones as you manage your loved one’s aging process.

In many cases, we can begin almost immediately. If you need a nurse or a caregiver or know you will need one soon, contact us. We have team members on standby 24/7 to assist.

We care greatly about the relationship between you and your care team and take our matching process seriously. You will be assigned a Dedicated Care Coordinator. If there are any concerns, you can contact your assigned Care Coordinator to resolve the issue.

We have one of our RN Care Ambassador's meets with you and your family to conduct a complimentary, in-depth assessment of your medical and personal needs. We then design a unique care plan tailored to your needs that we present to your family.
