Jennifer Aronson Can Help Turn Eldercare Challenges into Eldercare Successes.
Jennifer Aronson has experience and expertise in the design, delivery, teaching, administration and co-ordination of Eldercare services.
Most people, regardless of age, prefer to live in the comfort and security of their own homes where they are happier, often heal faster and may even live longer. However, when elder clients are no longer able to care for themselves, their families, friends and service providers are frequently unaware of the options available in the community.
Transitioning to home from an extended hospital stay can be difficult for any patient, but especially for those who are elderly, frail and/or have multiple chronic conditions. Provide:
Most people do not know or understand the choices and options open to them. Navigating the complicated, hard to unravel and difficult to manoeuvre the health care labyrinth can be a major challenge. Older adults and their families and many times their advisors as well, lack information about health and long term care planning options.
Jennifer coaches advisors such as doctors, lawyers, accountants, trust officers, and financial advisors who represent older clients, or adult children with aging parents.
Mrs K. is a 92 year old woman who had repeated visits to hospital due to a fall. She had lost many of her friends and family and was unable to handle living on her own. Her family was confused about what to do going forward but knew they wanted their loved one to be safe and to be able to live with dignity.
In addition to providing much-needed emotional and social support, Jennifer completed a comprehensive assessment and report. Based on her findings, Jennifer made a referral to a Geriatrician for further cognitive testing. The Geriatrician assessed Mrs. K’s medications, her mobility and her physical status. The findings were that Mrs. K. was suffering from depression and presented with balance, mobility and strength issues.
Jennifer coordinated a safe discharge home with private and community supports.
I just wanted to thank you for all the great support you've given me and my stepmother. You helped me negotiate some very difficult territory in an area I have no knowledge of. Your experience and input have made the whole journey less stressful, and you have given me the sense of direction I was looking for. My stepmother is a great lady and it is nice to know at the age of 92 there are services like yours that are available to help her in her final years. You have worked extremely hard to make her life more comfortable and she is experiencing the ongoing benefit of that hard work. With much gratitude…
Ms. Aronson set in motion and executed a care plan that was impressive in its precision and sensitive implementation. That she maintained concerned contact with the client following admission to hospital—after her responsibilities were forwarded to others illustrates a caring not often found within our harried profession. I have interacted with Ms. Aronson on other files, I continue to be impressed by her acumen, her capacity to quickly and accurately assess circumstances—and her sincerity. She is a fount of knowledge regarding community resources and 'the system' in general, and her energy ensures that her clients will have access to all that is available to them.
Further, it is most apparent that Ms. Aronson is a team player as has been evidenced time and time again—as she appropriately has reached out to community resources on behalf of a client in need—the ensuing services illustrates the trust others have in her judgment. Ms. Aronson is indeed a trusted and valued colleague.
I have known Jennifer Aronson as a Master of Social Work (MSW) for over 14 years. As an MSW myself having been in practice for 35 years, upon meeting Ms. Aronson professionally, I was more than impressed by her presentation-she was at once focused in analyzing the situation at hand—determining the available resources, while maintaining an omnipresent awareness of the unique task at hand, that being the well-being of our mutual, elderly and feeble client.
