What happens if my parent's condition changes after care has already started?
Care plans are living documents. When something changes, a new diagnosis, a fall, a noticeable decline, the supervising nurse reassesses and adjusts the plan, more hours, new skills, different equipment, whatever the situation calls for.
That's the advantage of an agency with every level of care under one roof. A Cortlandt Manor family that starts with companionship can add personal care, overnight coverage, or nursing without changing agencies, the same team simply deepens the support.
