“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.

One-Time Consultation
Families often have one specific concern, but they may not be certain about next steps. We meet with families on a one-time basis to discuss strategies, provide resources and clearly define next steps.
Comprehensive Assessment
If family members are unsure how to help an older adult, a thorough geriatric assessment is often the best way to start. We will assess physical safety, nutrition, cognition, medication management, social wellness, 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.
Our assessment includes:
Physical SafetySimple modifications to the home can reduce the likelihood of an unnecessary fall. So, we review the physical environment of our clients and make recommendations to increase safety and ease of mobility.
Our care managers will establish a baseline for cognition during the initial visit in order to monitor changes over time and address them as needed.
We assess an older adult’s support network and evaluate how often they engage with others. We can recommend social and cultural activities, as well as provide transportation, if that is an obstacle.
We review our client’s medical history in order to understand how medical limitations impact daily living. We keep copies of current medical conditions, medications and recent procedures in case of emergency.
Our team serves as an advocate to assist you or your loved one with financial and legal issues, which may include:
End of Life Documentation
It’s important to ensure that the client’s wishes for end-of-life are known. When advanced directives and information regarding durable medical power of attorney are provided, we can suggest updates and provide necessary documents in the event of an emergency.
Guardianship & Conservatorship
Many older adults fall victim to scams or financial exploitation. Appointing a conservator or guardian can protect the older adult as well as alleviate any stress for family members.

A time for help in crisis
Because emergencies can happen well beyond business hours, we’re available 24 hours per day, 7 days a week for ongoing clients. We’re able to go to the hospital and advocate for them until family arrives. And because we have a baseline knowledge of your loved one’s physical and cognitive health, we’re able to clearly articulate symptoms that can often be incorrectly attributed to features of aging.
If you’re faced with an emergency and need to speak with someone right away, please call. Even without an appointment we are often able to provide same-day emergency consultations to help families decide their next steps.
