Do you see what I see?
As you are visiting with aging family members over the next few weeks, you might notice some decline, particularly if you are a long-distance caregiver who can't visit often.
Caregivers are often not sure how alarmed to be when they notice a change in their parents and that's why many trust the perspective of a geriatric care manager.
Would you like to have peace of mind this holiday season? Consider letting a professional determine where you go next with your caregiving decisions. It could be the best thing you've done for yourself all year.

Family Meetings & The Holidays
With more family members living out of state from one another than ever before, many families find that the holidays are the only time that all of their siblings and parents can be together.
It isn't always the most desired time to tackle some of the tough caregiving conversations, but often, it is the best time due to being able to meet with all of the family members.
Family get-togethers don't always go according to plan, so many people involve a neutral third-party to keep conversation on track, introduce sensitive subjects, and initiate action plans for family members once they return to their homes.
If a family meeting would organize your caregiving efforts and make good use of the time when all members are gathered together, call us today to arrange a meeting with a geriatric care manager. 704-492-0554

Autonomy & Aging
Many older adults would prefer to remain at home, but often times it is because being in your own home gives you a sense of autonomy. Geriatric care managers are always focusing on preserving as much independence as possible, regardless of where a person lives.
By implementing creative solutions and identifying critical support services, we are able to maintain a client's current living situation until it is no longer safe or financially feasible.
If you are like most caregivers who have called us, your parents have expressed a strong desire to continue doing things for themselves. Care managers are experts when it comes to helping families find the balance between independence and support.
