Consultant on Aging
Geriatric /Eldercare Consultation
Both my parents have passed away. My father from a medical issue; my mother from dementia. As an adult child of an aging parents, I know what families are dealing with and what it takes to plan and navigate honest, reliable and appropriate resources, specific to your family, for the present and the future. Previously held positions include Medicare Hospice & Home Health LCSW, Geriatric Care Manager and Licensed Psychotherapist. These experiences enabled me to ascertain the physical, psychological and environmental issues families/siblings face as their loved ones grow older. As a Consultant on Aging, it would be my pleasure to assist you and your family.
Hourly Consultation- Comprehensive Assessments
As your family member ages...
Overseeing the care, health, and well-being of your elderly loved one is a challenging and all- encompassing experience that affects every aspect of your life.
for transitions, senior services, referrals, and everything else!
My goal is to maximize older adults' independence, support their health, safety and well-being; foster dignity and quality of life. Creating peace of mind for all family members is vital to the process.
Sometimes, families only need a consultant for an hour or so. In other situations, a comprehensive assessment is more effective. A comprehensive assessment is akin to building a house. This "blueprint” offers you and your family a clear direction of how to proceed today and in the future. It is specific, practical, and offers short and long term care plans, recommendations, resources, and how to plan and avoid a crisis. The blueprint is a professional and unbiased "picture" of your elderly family member.
Prioritizing the "TO DO" list and establishing the " who, what, where, and when" that needs to be completed is the first step to a successful plan! Click below for what is included in a comprehensive assessment.
Assessment--Consultation Services
Every family has its own unique circumstances: being an only child, living long distances, sharing the responsibilities with siblings, or experiencing discord between family members.
Sorting out the maze of "senior" services, ensuring that health professionals are doing their job, selecting reputable in-home care, Medicare-approved home health, transportation options, alternative residences, costs, etc., takes a great deal of energy and time to research, interview, and select.
As a consultant, I provide answers, solutions, resources and information for you and your family. Be it for hourly consultations or a comprehensive assessment, you decide what is most appropriate.
