Supervisors typically make announced and unannounced visits while the personal attendant is working. If you have any questions or problems, you can talk to your Coordinator.

Personal Attendants / Assisted Living Service Providers
Sage Home Care services come to you by way of our personal attendants and Certified Specialists. Your Assisted Living Services Coordinator will match a personal attendant to work with you and will conduct visits from time to time to ensure your assisted living services are exactly what you need, when you need them.

Personal attendants will assist you in your daily living activities. They will focus on getting to know you – what you like, what things you are good at, and how you would like things done in your home. They will plan and execute household chores and fun activities for you to do together. If there is anything you feel you cannot do alone, your companion aide will help you.

If you are not feeling well, your personal attendant can take you to the doctor. They can also help you keep in touch with your family and friends.

From time to time, our staff members may need to move on to other opportunities or their schedules change. In these cases, we make arrangements to have a new team member arrive, and whenever possible, to train in advance.
