Let’s Get Started
In-Home Assessment
Schedule a meeting to visit with the individual or couple with a goal to review their needs and abilities to determine what is required to help them remain in their home. Or, if they are living in a facility, we’ll meet with them to review care. An outside advocate is very important to make sure that their care needs are being properly met.
Recommend, Coordinate, and Manage
Once their needs are determined then we make care recommendations and work with the family to coordinate and manage the care as needed. Whether the family lives near or far, we are able to assist with oversight of all care being provided and communicate with the family. We also watch for changes in needs based on our experience with the aging process so that you are ahead of the changes.
new Living arrangements & Moves
As much as we try to help an aging person live in their own home as long as possible there are sometimes situations where moving to an assisted environment is ideal. If that is the case, we can help you find the best match for their care needs and can help coordinate the move in a way that affects them as little as possible.
What is a Professional Geriatric Care Manager?
