Our Care Management Services
One of the most difficult aspects of caregiving may be putting an elder care and health plan into action. Many tasks may feel overwhelming or time consuming. Caregivers for a senior may not have the time or ability to research everything required by the recommended elder care and health plan.
Aging Life’s Care Coordinating Program and Care Monitoring Program are effective solutions for implementing a care plan and making sure it meets the needs of your elderly loved one. We can also help the family of an aging loved one have a thorough and useful discussion of the issues through our facilitated family meetings.
We understand that the toughest part of elder care can be putting a Care Plan into action once the key issues are determined. Oftentimes, the tasks required to implement the Care Plan are enormous and time consuming and many caregivers just do not have the time or capacity to research and arrange all of the services to best meet their elder’s needs.
Our Care Coordination Program was designed to take the weight of responsibility off of your shoulders. The program is the most convenient solution to searching and arranging services and products for your elder based on their specific needs and preferences.
When you authorize an Aging Life care manager to handle care coordination, we will do all of the research, arrange all of the services, and fill out all of the paperwork to accommodate your loved one’s needs. Moving an elderly individual from their home to a long-term care facility is never easy. If such a need should arise, you can rest assured that we will enlist the help of people who specialize in moving seniors to ensure the transition is as smooth as possible.
One of our professional Care Managers will regularly check in with your loved one at their home or care facility to ensure their needs are being met and that they are comfortable. Our Care Managers will also take the time to review the elder care health plan to ensure it is accurate and up-to-date and coordinate any necessary changes.
Our comprehensive Care Monitoring services include:
- One or more scheduled visits to the elder’s home or facility every month for a status evaluation
