Your First Visit — Living Care Collective
Getting Started

Who you'll meet and
what to expect.

Your first visit is with your Living Care Coordinator — one consistent person who gets to know you and your family before anything else begins. Here's exactly how it goes.

You + your coordinator
Before the visit

No preparation required — but here's what's helpful

💊
Medications list
A list of current medications if you have one — names and dosages. We'll help you document everything if you don't.
📋
Doctor contacts
Your family doctor's name and phone number. Any specialists you see regularly are helpful too, but not essential.
👨‍👩‍👦
Family involved?
Feel free to have a family member or trusted friend present. Many people find it reassuring to have someone they trust in the room.
Nothing else needed
There are no forms to fill in ahead of time, no preparation tests — just a comfortable space for a conversation.
During the visit

A relaxed conversation at your pace

Arrival
Getting comfortable
Your coordinator arrives, introduces themselves, and takes time to get settled. No rushing. We start wherever feels natural to you.
First 30 min
Your story, in your words
We ask about your daily life, what's going well, and where things feel harder. We listen far more than we talk. This isn't an interview — it's a conversation between people.
Middle
Practical details
We walk through your home briefly — not an inspection, just to understand your space. We review medications, contacts, and home access information to start your Emergency Information Sheet.
Wrap-up
Next steps, clearly explained
We summarize what we heard, share any immediate suggestions, and explain what comes next. You'll always know what we're doing and why before we do it.
