Love Me Tender’s Registered Nurse Care Manager will schedule a home visit to evaluate just how effectively you or your loved one is coping. The goal for our client is to remain independent in their home by addressing physical and mental health conditions and assessing unmet needs.

The registered nurse care manager will be able to proactively assess and detect health concerns and implement support to avoid unnecessary suffering and visits to the emergency room. We take a holistic approach when assessing and creating a care plan. This means we provide exceptional care and support that looks at the whole person, supporting their physical, emotional, social and spiritual wellbeing.

Love Me Tender’s ongoing proactive approach is appreciated by the clients loved one(s) who cannot always be there. Often the client does not share their struggles and/or health concerns as they do not want to worry or inconvenience their busy families. They may not share as they fear being moved into a retirement residence, losing their sense of independence and leaving the comfort of their homes.

There are three care level packages available and each begins with an intake assessment . This thorough assessment ensures complex and long-term health care clients receive the ongoing medical treatments they require for having a positive quality of life. The assessment will be designed to provide the level of support that addresses your concerns and can be adjusted to adapt to the changing needs of your loved one. If one of these packages does not suite you and your families needs, please contact Love Me Tender Health Care Services to discuss creating a care option for you.
