You may feel that not enough is being done to meet your relative's nutrition, exercise, social contact and medical and care needs. You've communicated your concerns and haven't seen enough improvement.

We're no strangers to this dilemma. You can turn to us for fresh ideas, more effective communication with staff and improved care and attention.

Nursing Home Difficulties

Families place their older relative in a nursing home when it becomes medically necessary. Whatever the quality of the facility, they quickly discover that the staff has limited time to tend to their relative. These families ask for our help after they've been unable to get the care and attention they feel their relative needs.

Other families ask us to help them evaluate the need for such a placement. Once the decision is made, we guide them through the admission process and remain available as needs and problems arise.

You can have your own professional care manager to

• Help you understand and stay on top of changing medical needs and treatments
• Make arrangements to affordably supplement the nursing home's services, for example, scheduling a private attendant to spend quality time with your relative
• Contribute to scheduled staff conferences about your relative's care
• Offer you understanding, support and practical tips for dealing with the impact of your relative's placement on your life and caregiving role.

Nursing home staff usually welcome our involvement. You and they want the same end result, namely your satisfaction with the best care possible for your relative.

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.
