Geriatric Care Management Overview
At Pfalzgraf, Beinhauer & Menzies, we work directly with Geriatric Care Managers of WNY, LLC. As a result of working in the field of elder planning for many years, we have come to recognize the unique benefit of working with specialists in the "care" side of the planning equation.
Caring for an elderly parent, relative or friend is a challenging and time-consuming task. Often, one is forced to juggle other responsibilities such as work, family and financial obligations.
Geriatric Care Managers of WNY, LLC help seniors and their caregivers navigate through a variety of eldercare options.
They can be your eyes and ears if you live far away from your elderly relatives. They facilitate care even if you live nearby but do not know how to tap into the appropriate local services.
You can hire a care manager for a single, specific task, such as helping you find a caregiver or assisted living center, or to oversee and guide the family through the entire process.
Either way, you can count on Geriatric Care Managers to:
- Determine your individual needs and help locate services
- Provide a comprehensive health assessment, completed by an RN
- Work with community resources for social support
- Facilitate family meetings to help with care decisions
- Work with your chosen physician to ensure the effectiveness of prescribed treatments
- Provide communication and support for long-distance family members
- Assist with aging issues, crisis intervention, home safety evaluation, rehabilitation plans and many other health-related issues
