Eldercare Resources
There are more services than ever before to help you achieve balance between respect for your parents’ dignity, assurance that their safety and wellbeing needs are met, and a degree of freedom from worry about them. A geriatric care manager can handle the day-to-day work of managing parent care and free you to focus on your own family and career and on your relationship with your parents.
A geriatric care manager can provide a variety of services for your parents and keep you informed. She can conduct a comprehensive assessment to identify care needs; hire and manage in-home caregivers; recommend appropriate residential care options; accompany parents to healthcare appointments, serve as their advocate and ensure that follow-up instructions are carried out; handle medical emergencies; watch over your parents wherever they live; and provide a wide variety of other services as needed. She can also assemble community-based services such as Meals on Wheels or adult day care; and refer you to the services of other professionals such as lawyers, financial planners and healthcare providers.
