Finding the right caregiver is essential for ensuring a comfortable and supportive environment for families. However, there may be instances where a caregiver is not the best match due to personality differences, unmet expectations, or evolving care needs. At Kizuna, we prioritize the well-being of both families and caregivers, and we have a structured approach to addressing such situations.
1. Identifying Compatibility Issues
A caregiver-family mismatch can arise for various reasons, including:
- Personality differences: If the caregiver and the family member receiving care do not connect well.
- Unmet expectations: If the caregiver’s approach does not align with the family’s needs or preferences.
- Changing care requirements: If the family’s needs evolve and the current caregiver is no longer a suitable match.
By maintaining open communication, Kizuna ensures that concerns are identified early and addressed promptly.
2. Reassessing the Family’s Needs
When a mismatch occurs, Kizuna takes the time to reassess the family’s specific requirements, including:
- Reviewing care preferences and expectations.
- Understanding any new or evolving needs.
- Gathering feedback to refine the matching process.
This reassessment allows for a more tailored selection of the next caregiver.
3. Finding a Better Match
If a caregiver is determined to be incompatible, Kizuna does not proceed with the match. Instead, we:
- Swiftly pair the family with a more suitable caregiver based on the reassessment.
- Ensure a smooth transition to minimize disruptions in care.
- Provide continued support to both the family and the new caregiver to ensure compatibility and satisfaction.
This approach prioritizes a seamless caregiving experience while reducing stress for both families and caregivers.
4. Continuous Support and Follow-Ups
At Kizuna, our commitment extends beyond just finding a match. We:
- Conduct follow-ups to ensure the new caregiver is a great fit.
- Provide resources and support to address any concerns.
- Maintain flexibility, allowing families to request adjustments if needed.
Kizuna offers families flexibility and peace of mind when it comes to caregiver placements. As part of its commitment to client satisfaction, Kizuna charges a one-time referral fee for caregiver placement, which is paid before the caregiver’s first visit or shift. This fee covers the costs associated with sourcing, screening, and matching qualified caregivers to meet the family’s specific needs.
However, Kizuna understands that finding the right caregiver is a deeply personal decision, and sometimes, a match may not feel like the right fit. If a family determines that none of the caregivers they were matched with meet their expectations and they decide to discontinue the matching process altogether, Kizuna offers a full refund of the referral fee. This policy ensures that families are not locked into a financial commitment if they are unsatisfied with the available caregiver options and choose not to proceed with the service.
This refund policy reflects Kizuna’s dedication to building trust with families and ensuring they receive the support they need without unnecessary financial risk.
