Always treat people as capable, regardless of age or circumstance. Offer help without imposing it. Let others retain control over their lives, choices, and space.
Peace: Clients remain in charge. Help is always offered, never imposed. Monthly visits follow the clientâs lead, using light walkthroughs and conversation to assess well-being respectfully.
Care: Clients are treated as partners. Tasks are only done with consent. Their routines and preferences shape the visitâs structure.
Legacy: You walk alongside the client in decision-making, including during life transitions. They remain the lead voiceâalways.
Involve others in decisions that affect them. Encourage participation, even in small ways. Avoid doing things for someone that they can still do with support.
Peace: Clients participate in small decisions. Mid-month check-in calls allow them to share insights, maintain control, and receive feedback on next steps.
Care: Each visit includes participationâselecting tasks, discussing errands, or reviewing needsâallowing the client to direct their own care experience.
Legacy: Clients are kept in the loop on whatâs been done and whatâs coming next. They help shape their support planâeven in complex situations.
Show up reliably. Keep your word. Trust doesnât come from grand gestures, but from quiet, dependable presence over time.
Peace: Even limited contact builds trust when itâs dependable. Visits and calls happen on schedule, followed by detailed family updates that reflect a steady presence.
Care: The weekly cadence brings emotional and functional stability. Families and clients begin to rely on your rhythm and presence.
Legacy: Two visits weekly and on-call access build rock-solid trust. Clients and families know they can depend on your presence.
See people as more than their current needs. Respect their past, their identity, and the life theyâve built. Ask, listen, and preserve what matters to them.
Peace: Each visit includes one intentional act of legacy-buildingâasking about a photo, recording a memory, or labeling a keepsakeâwith care and curiosity.
Care: With more time together, you build deeper familiarityâhelping organize photos, document memories, or preserve meaningful routines.
Legacy: You actively help capture and preserve legacyâorganizing photos, recording memories, and supporting end-of-life planning when needed.
