Hello Mr. Thomas, Thank you for taking the time to talk to me earlier today. I appreciate the follow up email as well. I will discuss your services with my siblings and get back to you. It seems to me, at least preliminary, that 8 hours a day is more than my mo= ther really needs right now, so it might be difficult to commit to such a f= ull schedule. I think we will need to go slow with her. She has been very r= esistant to any home assistance in the past, and coming in with full time h= elp may be a little much for her. But I will certainly discuss this option = with everyone else and hear their thoughts. Thanks again for your quick reply?. I will get back to you soon if we decide to proceed with your services. If you can think of other part time options you can offer in St-Bruno, plea= se let me know. Best, Christiana Christiana Brenin, MD Associate Professor of Medicine Division of Hematology/Oncology UVA Box 800716 Charlottesville, VA 22908 (434) 924-8552 Fax (434) 982-4207 ________________________________ From: Timothy Thomas Sent: Wednesday, January 24, 2018 12:52 PM To: cmb4z@virginia.edu Subject: Home Care Assistance Good afternoon Christiana, It was a pleasure speaking with you earlier regarding your mother's home ca= re needs. As discussed, please find enclosed a summary of conversation belo= w along with some additional information on our company and services. Home Care Assistance was founded by PhD level gerontologists. This makes a = big difference in the kind of support that our clients receive. We speciali= ze in high-quality Live-In care , but provide services on an Hourly basis as well . We do not require a lo= ng-term contract or deposit-stay with us only as long as you are completely= satisfied. Home Care Assistance is unique in the home care industry because Our Caregi= vers are tra= ined in our proprietary Balanced Care Method(tm) , focusing on healthy nutriti= on, physical activity, Cognitive Stimulation , social interaction and a s= ense of purpose to promote the highest quality of life. We interview each = prospective caregiver, check previous work references, and complete a crimi= nal background check. In addition, all our caregivers must pass a psycholog= ical test developed exclusively for Home Care Assistance to measure compass= ion, stability, honesty and reliability. Our caregivers are bonded and ins= ured so you can feel confident in the knowledge that WE are RESPONSIBLE and= ACCOUNTABLE for the service we provide. While the safety and security of our clients is our priority, we also belie= ve that it is important to create a bond between the client and the caregiv= er. With that in mind, we choose the most compatible caregiver for our clie= nts and continue to monitor the ongoing relationship to ensure the highest = level of satisfaction. Our hourly rate varies depending on the complexity of care, currently $24 -= $27 / hour + taxes. In the case of Live-In, our rate is $300/day + taxes f= or a 24 hour shift. In ad
