Care Managers

Geriatric Care Managers are experienced professionals who assist older adults and their families in coping with the challenges of aging and in the planning of long term care. Care Management may include:

• Act as a liaison to long distance caregivers by regularly communicating their family member's progress or alert them of any problems.
• Care planning assessments to identify the problems and needs that may require assistance.
• Screen, arrange and monitor all home health, medical, and other services.
• Provide consumer education and advocacy.
• Offer counseling and support.
• Provide crisis intervention.
• Assistance with placement in a facility.

The Care Manager initiates a personalized care plan, specifically designed to meet the client's wants and needs. They help to reduce the time, stress and additional costs often involved in caring for an older adult as they age.

Homemakers

All of the homemakers work for companies that are licensed, insured, and are put through stringent background checks. A manager will supervise the aide and the clients care, as required by law, making changes whenever appropriate. The homemaker will be able to take care of normal household chores, such as to preparing meals, light house work, laundry, shopping, errands, and medication reminders, but cannot assist the client with any physical or personal care. With a minimum of three or more hours per day, a homemaker is charged at an hourly rate. The time spent with your loved one provides not only the household help needed, but adds the important stimulation through companionship and activities, along with supervision by a professional.

HHA's / CNA's

All of the home health aides (HHA's) and certified nursing assistants (CNA's) work for home health care companies that are licensed, insured, and are put through the most stringent background checks and training programs. In addition, a personal care plan is provided at the beginning of care by a registered nurse, which is carefully followed by the aide. A nurse will then supervise the aide and the clients care, as required by law, making changes of whenever appropriate. A nurse is on call 24 hours in the event an emergency.

Nurses

Professional nursing services include medication education and management, diabetes education and management, cardiac/pulmonary rehabilitation, oncology/infusion therapy, mental health nursing, HIV and wound care. Some nursing services may be covered by Medicare, when prescribed by a physician, and the client is homebound. Remember that you have the right to choose what agency you use.

Therapists

Therapists may be sent to your home to provide physical, occupational and/or speech therapy. Some therapy services may be covered by Medicare, when prescribed by a physician, and the client is homebound.

Doctor House Calls

This renews the tradition of doctor house calls, enhanced by the latest medical technology for testing, diagnosis and treatment. Instead of arriving with the doctor's classic black bag, physicians and their clinical assistant come to the patient's home with state-of-the-art mobile technology for examination, diagnosis and treatment.

The medical staff includes both board certified/eligible physicians and registered nurse practitioners with extensive backgrounds in geriatrics and internal medicine. Visits are scheduled Monday through Saturday, and a staff member is on call 24 hours a day.
