Why Hire a Care Manager?
Families turn to Care Managers for a variety of reasons: they desire a better quality of life for their loved one, they hope to reduce stress on the family, they wish to save time away from work, or they may be confused by the complexities of healthcare options. Senior Pro Services' Care Managers are trained and have experience in social work, nursing, gerontology, and counseling and fiduciary services. This blend of training and experience enables us to work closely with you to develop the right plan of care for you or your loved one.
When Do I need a Care Manager?
When aging or disabilities affect the quality of life of daily living at home (whether sudden or gradual), individuals and family members may not know where to turn for the best options or how to ensure the right plans are in place for a loved one. Senior Pro Services' Care Managers are an invaluable resource to help family members determine what kind of care is necessary. A Care Manager may be needed if you are concerned about:
- Safety of an elderly or disabled loved one living alone (falls, unexplained bruises)
- Quality of care in current living situation
- Physical and mental health (mistakes in taking medication, memory loss)
- Personal hygiene or nutrition (sudden weight loss, improper eating or hygiene)
- Ability to remain in their home
- Changes in behavior and judgment (confusion, mistakes in taking medication, unsafe driving)
- Social isolation or distance of family members
- Failure to pay bills promptly
- Fiduciary or referral to legal assistance required
How Do You Select a Care Manager?
Care Management is an emerging profession, and many states have not established care management standards. Consumers should ask for referrals and thoroughly interview prospective care providers. Care Managers should provide comprehensive knowledge of service options and have the ability to address financial and legal issues if necessary.
