ElderCare Solutions of Michigan?

“I don’t know how we’d get by without ElderCare Solutions.

My brother and I both live out of town and are unable to manage our mother’s day-to-day care needs.

Our Geriatric Care Manager treats our mom so lovingly...like she is her own. Her knowledge and management of medical and social-emotional care

greatly enhances the quality of our mom’s life.”

-Buffy L.

A time

for difficult conversations Aging comes with a whole host of questions.

Our Geriatric Care Managers guide families through these difficult conversations, whether or not they are on the same page, offering objective and professional assistance to identify appropriate options, and help families move forward with a plan for the well-being of the older adult and the peace of mind of loved ones.

A time

for finding just the right amount of care Our experienced, compassionate Geriatric Care Managers will assess your unique situation and, together, you’ll determine how ElderCare Solutions of Michigan can best support you.

O N E -T I M E C O N S U LTAT I O N When families have a specific concern like moving or driving, they may not know the next steps. That’s where we come in. Our Geriatric Care Managers can meet you to discuss strategies, provide resources and clearly define next steps.

C O M P R E H E N S I V E ASS E SS M E N T If an older adult or their family members are unsure of how to help, a thorough geriatric assessment is often the best way to start. Our Geriatric Care Managers will go wherever the older adult lives and assess their physical safety, nutrition, cognition, medication management, social wellness, and legal and financial issues, as well as screen for any depression or anxiety that may be present. From there, we can address any immediate needs and recommend a long-term plan.

O N G O I N G C A R E M A N AG E M E N T S E R V I C E S A N D S U P P O RT Family members aren’t always able to notice subtle changes as their loved ones age. But through monthly visits that feel social, our Geriatric Care Managers look for any changes in physical, emotional, and cognitive health. We then recommend additional services that may be needed and provide updates to the family.

Let us be an extra pair of eyes and ears to ensure the safety and comfort of the older adults in your life.

We can also accompany them to medical appointments, check in on them in a hospital or rehab setting, and provide advocacy and insight to healthcare professionals regarding changes in their physical or cognitive condition.

Solutions

A time

for help in crisis

Emergencies can happen at any time. That’s why we’re available 24/7. We can go to the hospital and advocate for individuals until family arrives. With our baseline knowledge of an older adult’s physical and cognitive health, we can clearly articulate symptoms that could be incorrectly attributed to aging.

A Geriatric Care Manager can help support families through the decision-making process of whether their loved one can return home or if a stay at a rehab center is needed. We’ll discuss the pros and cons of facilities and help families ask the right questions. When your loved one can return home, we continue care by consulting with hospital personnel and arranging supportive services.

We’re here to sort through details, help with decisions and ensure you or your loved one gets the best care.

A time

for peace of mind Whether you are seeking answers to questions, or aren’t sure what questions to ask, the experienced Geriatric Care Managers at ElderCare Solutions of Michigan can help.
