Senior Care Management Solutions for Aging Independently

Just in our country, 10,000 individuals turn 65 every day. Seniors are most susceptible to disability, chronic illnesses, Alzheimer’s, heart disease, and heart attacks by the age of 85. According to statistics, older people in their 80s are more likely to fall. At age 65, the likelihood of cognitive impairment is minimal, but by age 85, the likelihood can be significant.

Single seniors without children, or couples with children who live far away, might feel insecure as they age without assistance. Even if being at home is essential to you, you might still be worried about safety, transportation, or other everyday tasks. Our highly qualified senior care management staff can assist in locating resources that will make daily living safer and easier.

Your ability to function in your surroundings determines how we work. Our model starts with an assessment to understand the individual’s circumstances, if we aren’t assisting someone with future planning. We must understand the client’s degree of functioning, present social support system, medical requirements, current medication, and healthcare providers. In the assessment process, the patient is interviewed, important medical records are gathered, a personalized action plan is created, and the options are discussed with all parties involved in the patient’s care.

A Life Management Advocacy Plan (LMAP) is created through our assessment process based on individual circumstances. Depending on the individual’s particular needs, we utilize a variety of assessment tools, and we continue to evaluate the fundamental needs as we continue to provide support for the individual’s situation. Our services have given individuals great peace of mind, from routine bill payment to assisting you in making plans for long-term care and safety.

FAQs By Our Individual Customers

How does your program for senior care management operate? Do the services come with a contract? Or are there services available by the hour or as needed?

In order to design a program specifically for you, we work to understand your needs. We set short- and long-term goals to support the areas of your care and work to make the systems of care work for your care-related needs. In order to lower the possibility of a crisis, we look for areas in your assessment where you might be vulnerable. Based on your needs and how we anticipate you will use us after the assessment, we have a menu of personalized services and programs. During our no-cost consultations with you, we are honest and thorough when discussing the pricing. We strive to keep your costs reasonable and add value by lowering risk and enhancing quality of life. Complex crises can increase the cost of crisis work. Therefore, the best course of action is to involve us in risk reduction long before a crisis arises.

What is involved in the initial assessment?

An RN patient advocate conducts the assessment, going through a detailed checklist to get a true overview of your life. The RN Advocate collects information from you, and compiles a comprehensive report on you. They search for areas where you are vulnerable now or in the future as they write the assessment, and they set goals to prevent crises. The RN Advocate then discusses their ideas with our mental health social services team in order to address concerns with cognition and mental health. When there are issues with bill payment, estate planning, or power of attorney, we call in our team of financial advocates.

What happens if we experience a sudden change in our circumstances, such as a disabling injury (a stroke, a fall, a terminal diagnosis), or if we need to move from our home to an assisted living facility? How do you manage that?

Depending on what transpires and how you choose to engage us, we may attend medical and care-related appointments, show up at the hospital to address any concerns, and assist with discharge planning. In order to become experts on your care, wellbeing, and advocacy for your dignity and best interests in every circumstance, we anticipate your needs in every interaction on your behalf. Because we can help you make the most of your money when we understand your financial situation, you can make decisions that are based on your financial objectives rather than just how things feel emotionally. We determine your level of care and your preferences if you need to move into a care facility, and then we search for a facility that can accommodate both your financial needs and your care requirements. Then, using your Medicare, Medicaid, or long-term care insurance benefits to your advantage, we provide oversight and support through various levels of care.
