How an Elder Care Manager Can Help

The LSS Elder Care Manager conducts an in-depth assessment of an elder’s unique situation that results in the design of a highly personalized “Care Plan.” All of the issues – medical, cognitive abilities, financial, residential, legal – are taken into consideration, until a comprehensive picture and clear vision for the future emerge.

This client-centered approach embraces both the needs and the desires of the elder and family members. It assures continuity of care management, reduces the burden on families, prevents unnecessary expenditures and reduces the potential for inappropriate decisions regarding placements in residential or care facilities.

The presence of an LSS Elder Care Manager can be particularly beneficial in the case of “long-distance” caregivers or responsible parties.

Elders and their families can have confidence and peace of mind, because the LSS Elder Care Managerfollows Geriatric Care Management Standards of Practice as defined by the National Association of Professional Geriatric Care Managers.
