Real-world examples of using Senior Care Consultants
Below are a few real-world examples of the types of clients and situations we have managed.
Mrs. L. was hospitalized after falling and breaking a hip.
The family flew in from out of town but had no idea what was needed for her ongoing care, recuperation, and living plans. They were at a loss to see how their mother could eventually move back to her own home.
Mrs. L. received a thorough situational assessment from a Senior Care Consultant and her family could make a well-informed plan of care. A consultant was able to advocate for Mrs. L. and her long-distance, caring family members.
The consultant continued to assist Mrs. L., enabling her to return to and remain in her own home, overseeing home care, bill paying, coordinating doctor appointments, etc. The consultant was a positive presence here for both Mrs. L. and her care-giving family.
Mr. J. was living with his wife when he began to have difficulty with his memory, causing great concern about what to do about the loss of memory and where to turn for help.
When Mrs. J. called In-Home Quality Care, she was put in touch with an experienced Senior Care Consultant who did a comprehensive assessment of the situation. The consultant educated the family regarding available resources to assist Mr. J.
The consultant offered many suggestions to enhance his care, well-being, health, and safety. In addition, the consultant created a safety net that enhanced the well-being of the caregiving family members.
In-Home Quality Care and the Senior Care Consultant helped Mr. J. take every advantage of living as capably and independently as possible and ease the difficulties for the family.
