Hmm. Decision Advocates, a company within the Care Choice Comprehensive Network, has a mascot. How come *we* didn't get a mascot? Kind of rude, if you ask us! 😉😜

This was a great talk given by Amy Neu, Assistant Director at West County Psychological Associates, which is a newly aquired company that has a long history in St. Louis, and is now within the Care Choice Comprehensive Network. Give it a listen if you'd like to gain some knowledge about how to support seniors who may be experiencing loneliness and isolation.

Loneliness is more than just a feeling—it’s a health risk that affects millions of older adults.

In our recent seminar, "Bridging the Gap: Supporting Seniors Through Loneliness and Isolation," we explored why this issue is so common, how to recognize the signs, and practical ways to support loved ones facing social isolation.

This important session was presented by the Senior Learning Institute, and we’d like to thank the City of O’Fallon for hosting the event and providing the recording so even more people can access this valuable resource.

💡 Learn how to offer support and connection to the seniors in your life.

Securing the best possible care for a loved one can be overwhelming. Without a certified care manager, families can find themselves in a dangerous, almost impossible, situation.

Imagine this: An elderly parent, recently discharged from the hospital, is sent home without a clear care plan. A family member, juggling a full-time job and their own children, is left to coordinate multiple doctors' appointments, medication schedules, and in-home care services. Without a professional to navigate the complex healthcare system, a crucial medication is missed, leading to a dangerous setback and an avoidable re-hospitalization.

This is a scenario that a CERTIFIED care manager can prevent. They are experts in creating a holistic, client-centered care plan that addresses everything from medical needs to home safety and family communication. Their goal is to improve the client's quality of life and reduce family stress, ensuring all aspects of care are coordinated seamlessly.

At Care Choice Care Management, you’ll find a team of certified care managers with over 20 years of experience each, dedicated to providing concierge-level care. We have the expertise to advocate for your loved one, solve complex problems, and guide you through every step of the journey.

Don't wait for a crisis to happen. Take the first step toward peace of mind.

Navigating the world of senior care for a loved one is a journey many families face. It involves countless decisions, from finding the right in-home services to considering residential options. A significant part of this process is understanding the financial implications, both for the services themselves and for the time and energy you invest as a family caregiver.

The Financial Path Without a Care Manager:

When you take on the role of coordinating your parent's care, the costs are not always obvious. You'll spend time researching various options, from homemaker services to skilled nursing care. Each service comes with its own payment structure, and the overall expense can fluctuate based on the level of care required. Beyond the direct costs of services, there's also the potential for hidden expenses. These can include lost wages if you have to take time off work, and the emotional toll of making complex decisions without professional guidance, which can sometimes lead to choosing a less-than-ideal or more expensive path. The financial commitment for full-time residential care, such as an assisted living or nursing home facility, can be very substantial.

The Value of a Care Manager:

Hiring a care manager introduces a professional partner to this process. While there are fees associated with this service—typically billed at an hourly rate—many families find that a care manager provides significant value that can lead to overall savings. A care manager's role is to conduct a thorough assessment of your loved one's needs and create a plan tailored to their specific situation. This ensures that you are only paying for necessary services and are not overspending on care that isn't the right fit. Care managers are experts at finding cost-effective, local resources and negotiating the best possible arrangements. By helping you avoid common pitfalls and make informed decisions, a care manager can help you achieve a sustainable and effective care plan while alleviating the stress and time commitment on your family.

To discuss your family's unique situation and learn more about how a care manager can help, please reach out to Care Choice Care Management today.
