Q: How do we create a care plan? 

A: Care plans are created at the initial assessment and are updated as needed using feedback from caregivers and clients. 

Q: How do you handle emergencies? 

A: Caregivers are trained to call 911 in the case of an emergency and to contact our office ASAP. The office would contact anyone else as appropriate. 

Q: Do you use an answering service? Who answers when I call? 

A: We only use an answering service for our one-hour lunch break. Once we return from lunch, all messages taken are responded to. If it is an emergency, the answering service can transfer the call to someone in the office directly. 

Q: How is the privacy of my personal information maintained? 

A: As a professional organization in the homecare industry, your information will never be sold to any 3rd party or affiliate under any circumstances. 

Q: Do I pay the caregiver directly? 

A: No. You, or an authorized representative, will be invoiced on a bi-weekly basis. Because all ATCOH caregivers are employees of the company, you will not have to pay them directly.

A: Yes, they are.

A: Call All the Comfort of Home at (303) 346-1292. If you call after hours on our emergency line (303) 656-8954, you will get a “live person”, not an on-call service or computer prompting auto attendant.
