Your Mom and Dad need help. They have lived independently for years and now things seem to be falling apart. Dad tripped and fell last month, Mom left the burners on overnight, his memory is failing, it’s time to take the car keys away, etc. We hear it all and we are here to help. We have been helping families with problems like these and others for many years. We will meet with your parents to listen to their concerns about healthcare costs and preservation of assets for the well spouse, and eventually for the family. The biggest hurdle for the elderly client is a sense that they no longer are in charge, and that a helpful son or daughter may stop listening to them or stop taking direction from them. We know that just because Mom or Dad cannot remember the day of the week, does not mean that he or she has lost all ability to manage their affairs. We work with the "Bessie's" and the "Lyle's" to make them feel regarded and considered, while at the same time put into place a system of support and power to enable the adult children to help when absolutely necessary or desired.
We help the aging and those living with disabilities to live independently and in their homes as long as possible. If more care is needed, we help the family access government benefits to pay for assisted living, day care, adult foster care, or nursing home placement, i.e. Elderly Waiver or Medical Assistance benefits.
