What do Senior Care Coordination do?

Senior Care Coordinators coordinate care and services to address the social, emotional, physical, and healthcare needs of your loved one. While not specializing in all areas, our care managers tailor their services to your specific needs.

Key Services Include:

In-person Assessment: Thorough assessments cover various aspects such as daily activities, nutritional status, safety, memory, depression, finances, insurance, and health history.
Care Plan Creation: A comprehensive care plan includes assessment results, recommendations, and referrals for local community options. Care managers explain the plan details, the rationale behind recommendations, and help prioritize the list.
Service Arrangements: Tailored services based on the care plan, including crisis intervention, counseling, consumer education, money management, referrals, housing decisions, assistance with relocation, and guidance on legal matters.
Monitoring and Adjustments: Regular monitoring ensures that the services and arrangements in place continue to meet your loved one's needs. Frequent re-evaluations allow for necessary adjustments, enhancing the quality of life for both your loved one and yourself.

However, some long-term care policies may provide coverage. Our care managers can provide a clear outline of the general cost of services, working with you to find the most affordable options for your unique situation.
