What is Eldercare Consulting & Management?
Health care is complex, and in this increasingly fragmented and overburdened system, it can be extremely helpful to have a professional oversee all aspects of care. I have an incredibly diverse, unique background and skill set that allows me to comprehensively manage ALL of an individual’s health care needs.
As your eldercare manager, I will comprehensively assess the needs of your loved one and we will work together in establishing a care plan. I will assist you and your family with difficult decisions and help promote healthy communication on issues that are often difficult to address and navigate.
Among the greatest benefits I will provide is to improve the quality of life of my aging clients and bring peace of mind to the families and loved ones who are involved in their care. You will be freed up from the role of ‘caregiver’ and instead have the opportunity to spend more quality, stress-free time with your loved one.
As your Eldercare Management Consultant, I will:
Manage
health care needs, chronic conditions, illnesses, and coordination of care.
Optimize
health outcomes. I provide necessary education on chronic diseases and treatment plans, promote collaboration and communication amongst the health care team, and perform any other needed activities in order to promote the safety and wellness of my clients.
Navigate
The complex health system.
Advocate
for individuals to receive high-quality care. I do this by such actions as asking the right questions of health care personnel, requesting a referral, a second opinion, or further resources when appropriate, and anticipating/ planning for future health care needs.
Transition
clients to appropriate living conditions and proper levels of care. This can include transitioning from one’s home to a skilled nursing facility, assisted living, long term acute care, or hospice.
Assist & Assess
any number of circumstances and chronic and acute situations in order for the client to be as comfortable, confident, and safe as possible.
Testimonials
Feedback from Families
Laura played a pivotal role in advising me on managing my mom‘s healthcare needs. My mom had dementia and was unable to take care of herself or make her own decisions. I needed expert advice for my mom’s care and Laura provided guidance for seven years, from the time of my mom’s diagnosis until she passed.
