Comprehensive Geriatric Assessments: Seeing the Whole Person
Every meaningful care plan starts with truly understanding the person. Our Geriatric Care Managers perform relaxed, comprehensive in‑home assessments that evaluate physical, cognitive, and functional needs in the client’s own environment. Conducted conversationally and with respect for the client’s abilities and limits, these assessments prioritize hearing directly from the client so their needs and priorities shape the care plan.

Strategic Care Planning: Your Blueprint for Independence
A change in health or ability doesn’t determine the future—it calls for a new plan. After assessing needs and strengths, we create a care plan to address problems and coordinate with primary providers across care settings. This dynamic blueprint helps organize services from home-care agencies and includes review of financial, legal, and end-of-life concerns, with referrals to preserve assets and access appropriate resources.

Fierce Patient Advocacy: Your Voice in the Healthcare Maze
When a loved one faces hospitalization, a move from a care facility, or complex medical treatment, you need more than advice—you need a fierce advocate. We support, educate, and advocate for elders and their families. If someone in assisted living or a nursing home is unhappy with their care, we independently evaluate the situation and work to resolve it.

Caregiving is a shared journey, but it should never cost you your peace of mind or strain your relationship with your loved one.

Let us handle the logistics and tough conversations so you can focus on being family.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
A Care Consultant acts as a dedicated patient advocate and a guide for your family. They accompany clients to medical appointments to act as an extra set of eyes and ears, navigate complex diagnoses like dementia, perform med-fills and manage communication—which is especially helpful for out-of-town family members.
-
A Geriatric Assessment is a comprehensive, in-home evaluation conducted collaboratively by our expert team of nursing, physical therapy, and social work professionals. We look at the "big picture," assessing your loved one’s physical health, cognitive function, medication management, and daily routines. Following the visit, we provide you with a strategic, personalized care plan that outlines immediate safety needs, recommended services, and long-term options.
-
While many families call us during a medical crisis—such as a sudden hospitalization or a rapid decline in health—the best time to engage a Care Consultant is proactively. We help families plan ahead, assess home safety, and create a roadmap that can often prevent a crisis from happening in the first place. If you are feeling overwhelmed by your loved one's care needs, it is the right time to call.
