Many families find it helpful to contact a professional Geriatric Care Manager experienced in senior care issues. They can assess, advise, recommend, access, coordinate, deliver and follow up on services that are needed to either maintain an individual in their own home or review options that are appropriate as next steps. As well, they will know all of the services in the community, the cost and quality, and how to make the link. This will save family members who live at a distance, time, money and worry.
