When should I use a Senior Care Consultant?
Senior Care Solutions Consulting is happy to discuss at any stage of life. Assistance is usually sought after a medical crisis has occurred, and families recognize they are not as prepared as they should be. However, I really encourage families to plan prior to a crisis occurring.
Some reasons to begin preparing:
1. Imminent or recent retirees who want to understand options, and the costs of future care.
2. Healthy and active older adults who wish to maintain a high level of health and energy.
3. Older adults who are starting to experience some challenges and would like to get ahead of a serious event happening.
4. Older adults who have experienced a health issue, and need a care and support plan, i.e. Home Health.
5. Families who would like to know how they can best support their aging parents.
6. Family caregivers who are working and/or managing their own families and need help in supporting their older adult parents or loved ones.
