Assessments, Crisis Intervention, and
Care Management Services for the Elderly and Disabled
Aging Solutions helps families with aging or dependent relatives nationwide. We advocate, find resources, provide moral support and education, intervene when necessary, and coach–in order to help solve complex problems that can be among the most troubling a family will confront.
At a time when most adult children already have too many responsibilities to their own families, communities, and careers, taking on the additional burden of an aging relative's care is often simply too much, even though it is the right thing to do. It's a job made more difficult when the organizations that are supposed to help instead make solutions more difficult and harder to understand. Often, long-dormant family dynamics reawaken to complicate the situation.
What we do
Aging Solutions will go to bat for you and your family. We provide a blend of social services, geriatric care management, and advocacy, all focused on the well-being of the older person.
An initial consultation lasts about 90 minutes and can be done over the phone, or on a conference call with other family members. Afterwards we provide you with a comprehensive summary, a to-do list, and a care plan. You may then move forward on your own or with additional help from us. Once we establish your account, we are available to you over the phone, by e-mail or in person to coach you with any other issues that arise. Our job is to make your life simpler.
What we don't do
We don't take kickbacks, referral fees or other financial compensation for referring you to appropriate resources. We don't directly provide services such as home care or legal advice–but we do help you find the most appropriate providers of those services.
When can we help?
- You're completely stressed out by the burden of caring for an elderly parent at a long distance, while still trying to juggle your own job, family, and life. Your own health may be in jeopardy.
- You visit your parents for the holidays and notice that mail is piling up unread and some of the food in the refrigerator has gone bad. Your siblings aren't interested and your parents won't talk about it.
- A new "wife" has suddenly appeared in your aging father's life, and now shares his house and checking account. His old friends say they never see him anymore.
- Your mother tells you that a recent trip to the emergency room was only because she fell. You recall that this is the fifth or sixth time she has fallen.
- Checks from an investment advisor, entrusted with a lifetime of hard-earned savings, have stopped coming. His business phone has been disconnected.
- Your disabled brother has always been looked after by your mother, but now she is ill. Nobody knows what will happen to him if she is not there.
