Moving from home to a care facility can be emotionally challenging for both seniors and their families. A senior care advisor provides essential support during this transition, such as:
Assistance with moving logistics: We can help coordinate the actual move, including hiring movers and organizing personal belongings.
Emotional support: We offer guidance on how to emotionally prepare the senior for the move and how to make the transition as smooth as possible.
Post-move check-ins: After the transition, we provide ongoing support, checking in to ensure the senior is adjusting well to their new environment and addressing any concerns.
Scheduled visits: Visits can be scheduled routinely with the senior while family is on vacations or if wintering in another state. (2 hour minimum rates apply)
Billing Reviews: Many families are unfamiliar with the specific details on care facility bills, which can include hidden fees or unexpected charges. Advisors review these bills to ensure that families are being charged appropriately for the services received.
Senior care advisors don’t just help at the beginning of the care process; they also serve as advocates for seniors and their families.
Advocating for seniors: Advisors ensure that the senior’s needs are being met, whether that means advocating for better care in a facility or coordinating with healthcare providers.
Care plan adjustments: If a senior’s needs change, the advisor can reassess the situation and recommend changes to the care plan.
Ongoing communication: Advisors can serve as a point of contact between the family, care facility, and medical professionals, ensuring seamless communication and proper care coordination.
Billing review: Many families are unfamiliar with the specific details on care facility bills, which can include hidden fees or unexpected charges. Advisors review these bills to ensure that families are being charged appropriately for the services received.
Attending care conferences: As your care advisor I can attend care conferences to serve as a point of contact between the family, care facility, and care providers.
