How are services set up?

A member of our administrative team will make a free home visit to discuss your needs and develop a unique and detailed Service Plan. Sometimes services are needed immediately and because No Worries has a large staff, care can often be started within a matter of hours (QuickStart Care).

After meeting with you, our team member returns to the office and meets with the Staffing Coordinators and the appropriate Caregivers are selected.

Our admin team member and Registered Nurses collaborate with the Client, Family, Doctors, Discharge Planner and anyone else involved in the care and then puts together a Home Care Notebook specific to the Client with 10 sections for professionally organized care. Sections include; Plan of Care, Medication Forms, PRN Medications, Charting Notes, Flow Sheets, Nutrition Sheets, Output Tracking, Emergency Plan, Education Sheets related to the needed care, and Expired Sheets.

The administrative team member then meets the Caregiver at the Client’s home and introduces the Caregiver and orients them to your Custom Service Plan.

Does the Agency have an In-home Care License, bonding, and insurance?

No Worries is Bonded, Insured, and Licensed by the Oregon Health Authority.

What level of licensure does the Agency have?

The Oregon Health Authority put into Law a Classification system for In-home Care Agencies that will help consumers understand what level of care they can expect to receive from different In-home Care Agencies. Below is an example of why this Classification System is so important.

On Christmas Eve 2011, the No Worries on-call Nurse received an urgent request for No Worries to immediately provide care for their loved one who was on Hospice. They had a non-medical In-home Care Agency providing care but when their loved one needed medication administration and personal care they were desperate to find other help.

The on-call No Worries Nurse called the on-call Scheduling Coordinator and went right out to set up care. The distress to this family could have been avoided by their knowing what to expect from the In-home Care Agency they had selected.
