Each person's needs are different. This is why our specially rained and certified Geriatric Care Managers (GCM) have created a Care Assessment questionnaire to help. A GCM begins by meeting one-on-one with your loved one and family members, as needed. In some cases, it is more appropriate to meet with family members first, followed by an in-home evaluation with the individual needing assistance. This helps provide some preliminary understanding of your concerns.
Our comprehensive Care Assessment Form evaluates each individual with regard to:
- health status
- functional abilities
- psychological/social status
- environmental and safety concerns
- home management needs
- financial and legal obligations
From assessing care to advice on available resources, our GCMs help individuals remain as independent as possible. We will help your loved one live safely in their own home, with in-home assistance as needed. We can also advise families about options for access to other living arrangements, such as assisted living facilities to best fit the needs of your loved one.
Once a care plan is completed and agreed upon, along with the accompanying fees, our GCM coordinates all care. We will customize a care plan unique to the needs of your loved one. If desired, this includes offering referrals to authorized service providers and closely monitoring all of their activities. To ensure confidence that your loved one’s care is well supervised, we work directly with family members through ongoing communication and status updates about your loved one’s progress.
