Elder Care
As individuals age, it may become apparent that they need a little more help on a day-to-day basis. Maybe it’s help getting to the grocery store or paying bills. Perhaps increasing medical needs cause concern about how much longer they will be able to remain at home, even though that is their greatest wish. And because family members often live far away or have too many demands from their own lives, providing assistance may be difficult.
Eldercare is a service that enables us to help you or your loved ones continue living independently with assistance. While there are many types of service providers available, our reputation for independence, objectivity, and integrity gives you and your loved ones a higher level of assurance that the appropriate professional services are being provided.
Our service relies on the expertise of other professionals with us, your trusted advisors, acting as coordinators and ensuring the quality of services based on criteria you set. This way we can provide you with the most precious gift of all – PEACE OF MIND.
We can coordinate all the services that you or your loved one may need, including:
- Assessing the needs and developing a care plan to meet those needs for you or your loved ones
- Coordinating and overseeing periodic or fulltime health care, including assistance in selecting care providers and establishing a system to monitor the quality of care provided
- Handling routine financial transactions, including paying bills and ensuring that expected revenues are received and deposited
- Arranging for transportation, housekeeping, yard maintenance, and other personal services
- Determining whether investments are being managed per your instructions
In short, we can make sure you or your loved ones receive the care and attention they need and deserve.
Whether you or your loved ones need help in just one area (for example, paying bills) or in several, the first step is to schedule an appointment with a member of our team. In the initial interview, we can help determine the needs and how3 they can best be met for you and your loved ones. For example, we can provide you with a list of resources in the community that offer services and products (i.e., medical assistance, transportation, nurses, sitters, etc.) and help you estimate the cost of each service.
Fees for our services will be based on the amount of time spent providing the services. We will provide a written estimate of how much time we think it will take to furnish you with the services you or your loved ones need. Your signature on that letter will authorize us to begin assisting you with all of your eldercare needs.
