Elder Care Assessment
We offer an initial assessment in the home of the elderly person. This allows us to to determine the safety of the home environment and to asses the physical, emotional, and environmental needs of the senior individual.
For an elderly person to simply go to someone's office and answer questions is not sufficient in truly assessing an elderly person's needs.
This initial assessment will allow us to collect information about medical history, in-home care assistance that may be need, the ability of the elderly person to maneuver their home, the safety of the home, financial assistance that may be needed, and how lonely or depressed the person may appear.
Some elderly people prefer to stay in their own homes and some seniors prefer to live with others. Helping a senior make this decision is best done during a face to face interview in the elderly persons own environment.
We will review of the client's current advanced directives and other health care documents and refer them to an appropriate professional if needed.
Our initial assessment of our senior client's needs is the foundation of our elder care management services. Ongoing assessments will periodically be done as needed. |
