Elder Care Consulting Services- Geriatric Care Management
This service is for older adults in one or more of the following situations:
The older adult is in a medical crisis.
The primary family caregiver is in crisis.
The family lives at a distance.
Declining capabilities may call for more support at
home, or a change in their living arrangements.
After an initial phone inquiry, we meet with our new client and some family members usually in the client's residence. There we assess the client's medical, cognitive and social needs, as well as the living environment.
Then we prepare and present a written plan of care (professional recommendations). The elder care consultant designs the plan according to such considerations as:
Physical needs.
Emotional or Social needs.
Financial Resources available to meet goals.
The goal of each plan is to enable the elder to continue to live at home as independently as possible or to successfully transition to either a retirement community or a skilled care center. Often, we are asked to implement the approved plan in collaboration with the family.
