Senior Care Management Provides Seniors and Families with Peace of Mind

Distance from family members and busy work schedules frequently leave seniors and families with concerns and insecurities as senior family members live alone without immediate assistance available. Sometimes the question and answer of social phone conversations do not reveal a realistic in-depth picture of life issues, which affect a family network.

Questions frequently expressed by seniors and families:

  • What if I become suddenly ill while alone?
  • Should strangers be allowed into the house for repairs?
  • Are bills paid on time and not over-paid?
  • Is the home arranged to help prevent falls and accidents and provide security?
  • Are medications and meals taken regularly to preserve health?
  • Is transportation available to appointments?

A qualified Senior Care Manager provides a convenient and objective resource for solving everyday issues and giving assistance. Health is promoted by monitoring and assisting with nutrition and medications. Transportation to appointments is arranged. An objective view of the home allows suggested modifications for home safety. A care manager assures that home repairs and services are completed with security and billed appropriately. A qualified care manager may assist in untangling the confusion of medical bills and insurance claims. Especially for families living at a distance, and with the client's permission, the care manager provides objective communication of information between the client, family members and the physician. Through objective assessment, the care manager is able to assist the client and the family in considering care options. Some care managers provide phone availability 24 hours per day for unforeseen concerns.
