Life has a way of throwing curveballs. The mental stress and physical toll of a health diagnosis or the emotional road to recovery can leave individuals and families with burdens too heavy to carry alone.
Arosa Kansas City recognizes the impact these changes can have on a household, especially when they come out of left field. From patients to their pets, Arosa’s team of caregivers meets clients in their circumstances and are happy to share the load.
“In any life stage, we want to take the stress and burden off of a situation and allow you to be the parent, be the child, be the sister–allow you to be the family. It allows us to be the professionals and to help you navigate,” Area Director Betsy Welch said.
Arosa is the largest non-franchised home care company in the country with offices in 13 states. They utilize the integrated care model, which combines care management with home care. While many people associate home care with the elderly community, Welch added that 40 percent of its nationwide clients are under the age of 65. Arosa’s team is just as equipped to support children living with disabilities or recovering from injuries as they are for adults.
“Everybody needs care. Care management and home care services are not just for aging adults. It's about supporting the full household ecosystem,” she said. “We can take care of the child so the family can go on an outing or be with that child on the outing. We are there to make sure the family can do things together.”
Intentional questions during the initial assessment allow Arosa to create an individualized care plan. The goal is to provide peace of mind by paying attention to the smallest details and discussing life-changing decisions. Observing personalities and preferences is also an important factor in helping Arosa pair its clients with the best caregiver.
“How's the furniture arranged? Are there rugs that you can trip on? How's the lighting? You have a diagnosis or a special need? We help you navigate the health care system and the education system.” Welch informed. “We strive to match our caregivers with the needs of the clients. We have caregivers who love to garden. Well, if we have a client who has a garden and can't, what a match made in heaven!”
Welch has witnessed how loneliness can affect a person’s overall health. One of the best solutions to this problem? Furry friends! That is why including family pets in their area of care is so vital to what Arosa can provide.
“Pets are a part of your family!” she said. “We can walk pets. We can take them to the vet, or we can change out the kitty litter. We want to help somebody keep their pet at home. It keeps them happy and joyful.”
