We provide this service because we are passionate about helping seniors age successfully. No matter what you decide, this Care Consultation can provide valuable information as you work through your loved ones needs and wishes and consider your options.

Our Process

How Does A Care Consult Work?

When you meet with our Care Manager - here's what you may experience:

Needs Assessment

The Care Manager will ask many questions to discover where your loved one could benefit from a helping hand, along with what aspects of daily life are going just fine right now.

Review of ADLs

Next, the Care Manager will ask questions about common Activities of Daily Living: Bathing, dressing, cooking, transferring in and out of chair or bed – those types of activities. Are they still manageable, or do they require assistance?

Identify Opportunities for Support

Once the Care Manager has assessed the situation, they will explore care options the family may benefit from, based on any gaps or deficiencies noted.

Home Safety Check

A tour of the home will help identify any environmental safety concerns, such as trip hazards, lack of grab bars in wet areas, misuse of extension cords or space heaters – or any other safety concerns.

Social Assessment

Next, the Care Manager will identify any physical or emotional risks associated with isolation and loneliness.

Care Coordination Plan

The Care Manager will then discuss any health concerns, medication management and other issues that should be addressed in a care coordination plan.

Care Consult Recommendations

We will review the results with you and make recommendations. Together, you can discuss the hours and types of care that would best support your family.
