We devise a practical plan to address issues while emphasizing strengths.

Financial, Legal & Medical Review

We review financial, legal or medical issues and offer referrals to appropriate service providers.

Ongoing Care Management

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens during a care planning assessment?

We meet with the older adult and their care partners to discuss the situation and concerns, then identify problems and possible solutions. The result is a step-by-step plan that builds on strengths.

Who should be part of the assessment?

The older adult and the care partners involved in their life, such as a spouse, adult children or other family members. Family members who live far away can also be included.

What happens after the assessment?

You receive a clear plan with recommended next steps. Some families carry out the plan on their own, while others choose ongoing care management for continued coordination and advocacy.

Do you only help when there is a crisis?

No. Many older adults use an assessment to plan ahead, set goals for the future and stay independent longer.
