5 Star Home Care’s Kenny and Melissa Higdon now offer their clients who live in senior living facilities the option of a la carte service ordering.5 Star Home Care set out to meet the needs of the senior community, a goal they’ve met and exceeded thanks to owners and staff who routinely go the extra mile for their clients. To meet the growing demand of home care assistance needs at senior living communities, the local company has created a new a-la-carte menu of services.
“We’ve created an innovative solution that makes receiving home care assistance more manageable and more affordable” said 5 Star President Kenny Higdon. Residents can pick and choose which meet their needs without worrying about meeting the traditional minimum number of hours that many other home care agencies have. As Higdon put it, this “makes ordering home care services as easy as ordering from a restaurant menu.”
Conventional home care agencies require clients to order a minimum number of hours and many residents at senior living communities find their need for home care assistance does not meet that threshold.
With 5 Star’s new a-la-carte menu, residents order the home care services they need and minimums do not apply.
Light house cleaning is just one service 5 Star Home Care provides.“Traditionally, it wasn’t economically feasible for an agency to send a caregiver for just a medication reminder, which is typically a 15 minute visit, 3 times a day” said Higdon. However 5 Star’s a-la-carte menu lets caregivers service multiple resident needs at one facility, saving residents thousands of dollars a year compared to what they’d pay at another agency.
