An Aging Life Care Manager conducts an initial assessment
Over the course of 1-2 visits, we conduct an assessment. We certainly look at safety issues and health concerns. We also focus very heavily on the strengths of the situation. What are the positives in terms of personal strengths and resources—friends, faith, perseverance, sense of humor—that can help during challenging times?
We summarize the strengths and any topics of concern in the current situation. Looking at family resources, we can recommend options based on preferences and budget. Drawing upon our extensive experience, we can also give you a general sense of how things are likely to evolve over the next 6 months. This way you can make decisions within the context of a longer term perspective.

An Aging Life Care Manager communicates with doctors
If you sometimes feel overwhelmed by the medical system, you are not alone! It can be daunting for anyone. We help you clarify questions, and make sure you get answers. We lobby with providers for the type of care you wish to receive. Because we understand the system, we can go to bat for you as knowledgeable, effective advocates.

An Aging Life Care Manager arranges for in-home care
It may be that it’s no longer safe to live at home without additional help. Having someone come by twice a week to cook a few meals and do some light housekeeping may be all that is needed. Perhaps help with bathing, running errands and casual companionship would boost morale. Or, it could be that more attention is required. The daily presence of a kind caregiver can assure meals are cooked and eaten and medications taken as directed. You can choose part time or full time assistance. You rest easily knowing that caring and consistent help is available.

An Aging Life Care Manager checks in periodically
We can be your knowledgeable eyes and ears. Things can change quickly in the aging process. By checking in periodically, we can let you know whether your loved one is still able to live safely at home. As elder care professionals, we know the problems that commonly arise, and the most cost-effective solutions. Perhaps there are some mobility issues that are making life more difficult than it needs to be. There may be a simple device that could remedy the situation. Maybe your loved one is starting to have memory problems and needs help with paying the bills, or balancing the checkbook. Perhaps he or she needs a bit more oversight in terms of taking medications as directed. Through periodic check-ins, you receive peace of mind knowing the current situation remains the wisest choice.

An Aging Life Care Manager makes suggestions for alternative living arrangements
If more assistance is needed than can safely or affordably be provided at home, we are happy to make suggestions based on our intimate knowledge of the personalities involved. We understand the broad range of services available in the elder care continuum and can recommend local facilities most likely to result in a good fit and positive transition.
If you think the insights of a person well-versed in aging would make life easier, give us a call at [Your Phone Number]. We’d be happy to talk about your situation and ways to meet your unique needs.
