Our Consulting Services
Explore how we meticulously support your loved ones through every stage of aging, offering Preventive Planning, Care Management, and Crisis Management services tailored to meet their unique needs.
Preventive Planning
Choose the best living for aging in place
It is a natural desire of most people to want to live independently for as long as possible. Unfortunately, old age or unforeseen illness can make independent living very challenging. Maybe it is you or a family member in need of this help?
​
It's important to plan carefully if you wish to live at home as long as possible. Make the most of a challenging situation with intentional planning and preventative measures. We are here to help you understand the benefits and costs of all available programs and services.
Perhaps you are living in more space than you need and are considering downsizing to a more manageable place.
We can guide you through the essential questions about aging well and safely in your home. Our consultations equip you with information on various services available to live in your own home as well as supportive living options should you want to move out of your home.
​
We also prepare you for what to do and where to find help if your situation changes or suddenly becomes unmanageable.
Care Management Planning
Need help and don’t know where to start or who to call?
Care management planning is for older adults who find themselves in a position where they can no longer look after all of their own care needs.
Caregiving may have fallen to a family member, or the person in need of care may need to make their own arrangements. This is common with a new diagnosis of dementia, or after a debilitating fall, when an injured senior struggles to manage all of their daily activities. Housekeeping, meal preparation, driving, medication management, and personal care can pose real challenges.
Older adults who are struggling to care for their daily needs often receive part-time or full-time support from a loved one. However, as care needs increase and the workload grows, loved ones who act as caregivers can grow tired, and can even suffer from burn-out.
These situations can develop for a spouse/caregiver who becomes overwhelmed or for a caregiver supporting a senior who lives alone.
We provide a full assessment of your situation to ensure that you can make the right choices about the help that is really needed.
Crisis Management
How to deal with unexpected changes?
Are you experiencing a crisis due to hospitalization, a debilitating fall, or dementia-related challenges? Our Crisis Management support is tailored for older adults and their loved ones facing those situations and the uncertainty that comes with them.
​
We assess your loved one's care needs, and provide you with options for care for home or moving into a care facility. We will help you navigate Continuing Care options and private options so that you and your family can make informed decisions and determine the best way forward.
We offer ongoing support and coaching so you can face sudden changes with peace of mind and knowledge that our support will be available to you whenever you need it.
Dementia can pose some unique challenges. First, simply determining whether a person has dementia can be difficult, especially with older ones who may resist a medical assessment.
If diagnosed with dementia, some people living with dementia may still resist getting the help they need. Adult children worried about parents in this state are unfortunately becoming more and more common as dementia is ever more prevalent.
​
Fortunately, we can provide an independent needs assessment and make recommendations on what services are available, and how and when to access programs and services.
​
For example, navigating long term waitlists for nursing homes is one area of struggle, not only in terms of understanding the private vs public options, but also in determining when is the appropriate time for someone living with dementia to take that next step.
