ElderCare's Graceful Aging Program is another way we go beyond ordinary to extraordinary.
Our goal is consistency and continuity of care.
After the Senior Advocate's initial assessment, each client and/or their family is offered a detailed plan of care, including recommendations and referrals.
This includes all or any part of the following:
- Determining safety concerns and falls risks in the home and then finding the best solutions (including working with contractors and overseeing the work)
- Assessing any medical equipment needs and working with the physician’s office and medical equipment company or contractor
- Researching community resources for specific needs
The Senior Advocate will will continue to manage an individual’s care — called a Graceful Aging Program (GAP). This includes meeting regularly with you to monitor needs and care. Your Senior Advocate will also monitor your caregiver and the care provided in your home on a routine basis. These visits make it possible for us to review in-home documentation, reassess your care and condition, update plans of care as well as communicate to any approved family members or other contacts.
Issues that may be address on a on-going basis as part of the Graceful Aging Program include:
- Family and relationships
- Transportation
- Meals or shopping
- Paperwork organization
- Financial/Bill paying
- Community resources
- Social life
- Medical and other appointments
- Relocation or moving
- Life changes, death or a partner or spouse
- Caregiver needs
