Professional Geriatric Care Management
Many families find they need help that reaches beyond companion or home care services—whether it be coordination and oversight for long-distance families, someone to manage doctor’s appointments and follow up, or professional advice…EasyLiving’s sister company, Aging Wisely, provides many geriatric home care management services our clients and their families find invaluable as they face the challenges of aging and in home caregiving. Working together, we can be your one stop resource for all your concerns and needs.
Aging Wisely is a professional geriatric care management and consulting firm, helping families and clients throughout Tampa Bay since 1998.
Aging Wisely provides geriatric home care solutions when you are facing questions such as: “Should my loved one still be driving?, “What resources and options are available to assist us?”, “How do we reach agreement between family members about what’s best for Dad?” and “What Medicare plan is best for Mom and is she eligible for any Medicaid, Veterans or other benefits?” Aging Wisely’s geriatric care managers can help:
- Assess your loved one’s situation and make recommendations when you have concerns about safety and wellbeing or are concerned about specific issues such as driving or falls.
- Locate the best possible home health care services to meet your loved one’s medical, social, emotional, familial, and spiritual needs and make referrals for legal, financial and other needs.
- Assist with benefits programs and resources, such as Medicare, Medicaid, Veteran’s home care benefits, and community resources.
- Coach home caregivers through issues like how to address concerns with your loved one or make a smooth transition to assisted geriatric home care.
- Mediate family conflicts and help families gain a clear picture of the situation.
- Coordinate all parties involved in your loved one’s care; act as your eyes and ears when caregiving from a distance. Attend doctor’s appointments to provide advocacy and enhance continuity of care.
- Advocate for your loved one with healthcare providers and help you navigate the complex care system.
- Provide emergency intervention (24/7 on call support) such as meeting your loved one at the emergency room, manage the episode and next steps and advise you.
- Offer special help and support when faced with mental health issues, alcohol or addiction problems. Help with hoarding behaviors, depression and grief, anxiety, paranoia or challenging behaviors related to dementia.
- Provide an evaluation of when a care facility might be appropriate, what level of care is needed, and locate the most appropriate options (and help with negotiations, payment options, and the moving process).
Aging Wisely saves you valuable time and stress by providing the professional input you need to make the best geriatric care management decisions for your family.
