Why hire a geriatric care manager?

 A geriatic care manager can:

• Offer unbiased professional advice
• Answer your questions
• Help you weigh alternatives
• Provide practical solutions
• Do the "legwork" to save you time and money
• Minimize family conflict
• Identify low-cost services
• Offer guidance and support

A geriatric care manager can be of value when you or your loved one could benefit from the help of a knowledgable professional. This can occur:

• When you could use additional support
• When your loved one is in a health crisis
• When there is a decline in your loved one's physical or cognitive abilities
• When your loved one's current living situation is no longer safe or appropriate
• When your family cannot agree on the issues or on a course of action

Many concerns can be addressed in a few phone calls or meetings.  I offer a free consultation where we can discuss a course of actions that best suits your needs and budget. 

Often a professional is the person best suited to meet with an elder to hear his or her concerns.  Many elders are fearful that accepting help will lead to a loss of independence and the right to self determination. Involving an elder in the decision making process can often alleviate these fears.
