Geriatric Care Consultations
There are times when families need assistance in understanding the changes of aging and navigating the complex health system and resources available. A one-time consultation can provide guidance, education and recommendations as an older adult faces changing needs. Some issues which may be addressed in a private consultation include:
-
• unresolved issues or family conflicts interfering with decision making
• considering alternative living arrangements or long term care
• understanding alternative housing and long term care options
• safety concerns
• potential need for home care or other resources
• complicated medical management
• planning for the future
• memory loss or other cognitive changes
• necessity to coordinate medical and social service providers
• driving and transportation issues
