Partnering with Legal & Financial Professionals
You are often called upon to help your clients prepare for the transitions of aging. We understand the importance of having all the proper legal documents in place as well as a financial plan. Those documents and plans allow families to ensure that their loved ones enjoy an optimal life. You’ve been their trusted advisor and your clients will often turn to you for help that is outside of your legal and financial expertise. By referring your clients to an aging life care manager you are offering them a lifeline. We work with the older adult and their families to create a care solution that addresses their needs and ensures their safety and well-being. Our aging life care managers are licensed social workers and health care professionals who have extensive experience working with the aging population.
Partnering with Healthcare Professionals
You understand best the health challenges that older adults encounter. We’d like to partner with you to ensure your patient’s overall well-being. Our aging life care managers can help you to coordinate care and ensure that your recommendations are being followed. As part of our comprehensive care solution, we visit your patient regularly and we are often the first to notice changes in behavior and health. We will notify you of concerns and changes in status and discuss and coordinate next steps. We work with older adults who are living on their own, being cared for by loved ones, or those living in senior communities. Our aging life care managers are licensed social workers and health care professionals who have extensive experience working with the aging population.
