We do not just arrange these services; we manage them, staying involved to oversee that our care plan is successfully implemented and modified as necessary.

The Care Plan is crucial to address immediate and long-term needs. With decisions to make, time limitations and the emotional, health and financial challenges, you may feel like you are on this path alone.  If you feel unprepared or overwhelmed with your responsibility or are a long-distance caregiver, let us come to your rescue. Our compassionate and certified geriatric care managers are ready to help.

We are experienced at helping families sort it all out and guide you to solutions.   We will develop a personalized plan of action to address both immediate and long-term needs.  With an integrated approach, all services are organized and coordinated and with our on-going monitoring we can help prevent costly crises and repeat hospitalizations.

We will come to the home, hospital or nursing home to conduct our comprehensive assessment which includes a review of:

• Physical/mental limitations
• Strengths
• Social interests, activities
• Friends and support
• Sensory loss
• Medical history/status

We provide ongoing service after we have evaluated your needs, made recommendations and created a care plan that includes the approximate cost of services. We will implement the care plan and stay involved to monitor and modify as needed, or you can take our report and carry on.

There may come a time when you have to evaluate if your loved one’s needs have become greater than what can be safely met at home or financially maintained at home. This is where our firsthand familiarity of local nursing homes, adult care facilities, assisted living facilities and other independent living options are valuable to you. We streamline the search process for you and present the options that best meet your needs and preferences.
