We all know someone who is caring for an older loved one. Every day we get a call into our office from a grown child concerned about an elderly parent. Concern is a heavy burden to carry, but with the aging population, this trend is only going to increase. My goal is to relieve that stress from families by helping them navigate senior care options.
Turn your concern into a practical, realistic plan. Download this senior care guide and find out if it is time to find help and what are the most approrpriate senior care options for your family.
Of course, working with a care manager like me, will take some of the pressure off the family and provide some guidance in the process. Whether it is me developing the plan or the family themselves, it’s critical to identify the areas where assistance is needed. Safety concerns within the home are important as well to consider how their current medical conditions and medications are being managed.
The hardest part for families is to determine amongst themselves who will help with what tasks and are they equipped to provide the level of care needed. Again, that’s where a care manager can help. I often act as an objective third party moderator during family meetings to help guide the process.
The first step to peace of mind is just a phone all away. Call me at (440) 613-1500 or contact our office for a consultation today!
