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.
Provide the client and family to navigate the myriad of health and social services and develop a care plan that links them up with those resources that best suit their individual needs
Provide the client the professional attention they deserve so the family and friends continue to contribute the loving support that only they can give
Offer help to avoid the traps along the way by early consultation regarding care needs, and can advise on what costs are legitimate and what are not cost-saving
