Clinical Assessment Standards

The Katz Index & Lawton IADL Framework

When structuring individualized care plans, Morning Glory utilizes validated geriatric functional metrics: the Katz Index of Independence in Activities of Daily Living and the Lawton Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) Scale.

These standardized clinical frameworks ensure that our care management team accurately identifies exact functional deficits, avoiding both under-assistance (which increases fall, dehydration, and malnutrition risks) and over-assistance (which can accelerate physical deconditioning and loss of self-confidence).

By continuously evaluating changes in ADL and IADL scores during regular supervisory check-ins, we adapt care hours and physical transfer protocols seamlessly as a client recovers from surgery or experiences age-related progression.

Our Core Objective

To provide the steady physical foundation and compassionate companionship that allows our clients to safely retain control over their daily lives, personal preferences, and dignified home routines.

How Individualized Care Plans Are Developed

Every client is unique. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all schedule, we follow a deliberate, clinical onboarding sequence:

  1. 1
    Home Safety & Functional Mobility Audit: We evaluate bathroom accessibility, grab bar placement, lighting, staircases, throw rug hazards, and room-to-room transfer risks.
  2. 2
    Family & Physician Collaboration: We align our non-medical plan of care with medical discharge orders, physical therapy home exercise programs, and dietary restrictions.
  3. 3
    Caregiver Matching & Orientation: We brief matched caregivers on specific transfer techniques, privacy preferences, favorite meals, and daily communication routines.
  4. 4
    Scheduled Supervisory Quality Reviews: Our field supervisors conduct unannounced and scheduled quality evaluations to ensure total care plan fidelity and safety.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Services

Understand how our service catalog accommodates unique family requirements.

What is the difference between non-medical home care and skilled home health?

Non-medical home care (Personal Assistance Services) provides hands-on help with daily living activities (bathing, dressing, grooming, transfers, meal prep, medication reminders, companion care, and errands). Skilled home health is clinical medical care ordered by a physician and delivered by licensed nurses or physical therapists (such as IV therapy, sterile wound debridement, or tube feeding). Morning Glory provides non-medical home care and often works synergistically with visiting home health nurses.

How do I know which specific home care services my loved one needs?

During our initial complimentary in-home assessment, our care coordinator evaluates your loved one's physical capabilities (ADLs), cognitive needs, living environment, and family schedule to recommend a tailored combination of services. You do not need to diagnose or select specific services beforehand.

Can services be combined into a single caregiver visit?

Yes! Most families combine multiple services during each caregiver shift (for example, personal hygiene and dressing in the morning, followed by meal preparation, light housekeeping, medication reminders, and companion conversation).

What is the minimum number of hours required for a care shift?

We typically provide care in 4-hour minimum blocks up to 24-hour continuous care or 12-hour overnight shifts. This ensures caregiver consistency, punctuality, and meaningful engagement with your family.

Not sure which combination of services you need?

You don't need to have it all figured out. Tell us what has become difficult or hazardous, and our care managers will help design the right arrangement.
