In
some cases the older adult may need on-going monitoring in order to
maintain the highest level of independence in their home. The older
adult may not have family members in town or family members that are
bound by other obligations that are unable to assist with necessary
daily programs. In this case, our Geriatric care managers can step in
and provide regular support and supervision to the older adult. Routine
reports can then be given, either in written format through a letter
and/or e-mail or through verbal communication via phone, to concerned
family members or other professionals regarding the on-going status of
the older adult.
Long Term Placement in Continuing Care Retirement Communities, Assisted Living Facilities or Nursing Homes
If, for some reason, it is no longer safe and appropriate for the
older adult to remain at their home, our Geriatric care managers can
navigate the maze of long term placement steps and state required
paperwork. Our Geriatric care managers can also assist older adults
and/or their family members in coping with the emotions of transition
from home to facility.
