Coordinating shared care, strengthening support for multiple clients

Dual Client Care Services provide in-home non-medical assistance for two individuals who require care within the same household or living arrangement. This type of support may be considered when spouses, relatives, or other household members both need help with daily routines, personal care, companionship, or household tasks but have different levels of assistance needs. In Wayne County and throughout the service area, supporting two clients within one care setting can help address their individual needs while allowing them to remain in their familiar home environment.

04

Meal preparation and assistance with meals

07

Observation of changes in each client’s condition or support needs

02

What to Expect

Support is provided within the shared home environment while recognizing that each client may require different types or levels of assistance. Care activities can be carried out according to the individual needs and routines of both people rather than treating their care needs as identical. As circumstances change, the type of assistance provided to either client may also need to change accordingly.
