Family Caregiver Stress

We can provide a fresh, objective perspective when you're stressed, at an impasse or overwhelmed by elder care responsibilities. Our professional care managers can consult with you in person or by phone on an as needed basis. Consultation can be arranged as part of our care management service or on a stand alone basis. We address such challenges as:

Getting beyond the do-it-myself approach to complex care issues by engaging your own professional care manager
Balancing family caregiving and other parts of your life by using outside services and honoring your own needs
Resolving conflicting family opinions about how to provide care and in what setting
Clarifying how to respond to your older relative's resistance to care and how to involve additional family members in caregiving and oversight
Determining options, practitioners and other resources for your relative's medical problems
Identifying financial, legal and other estate planning resources for long-term care planning goals
Planning to move your relative from one level of care to another within or outside the Bay Area.

Our clients value the options of delegating some care-related responsibilities to their care manager or turning to them for objective yet compassionate input and support. Some clients both delegate to and consult with their care manager as needed. In all cases you can gain insight, decisiveness, better care arrangements, life balance and peace of mind.

Our service is adjustable to your changing needs. Our goal is to help you make the best possible decisions for your relative and yourself and to get the quality service and professional support you need at prices you can afford.
