What to Do When a Senior’s Care is Too Much for the Family

Oct. 12, 2011 - PRLog -- The Society of Certified Senior Advisors has released a new article that discusses families who are dealing with a senior loved one’s chronic care needs, and the difficulties of providing continuous care and finding support resources while managing one’s own responsibilities. Determining the best course of action can be challenging when emotions run high for both the senior and for the family members involved in the decision-making. A solution that can ease the stress for  the whole family is enlisting the guidance of a professional who is trained and perhaps even certified to work with seniors and their families in a health and human services role.

Excerpts from article:

Services that Senior Care Professionals provide include:
•   Conduct care-planning, in-person assessments to identify problems and to provide solutions.
•   Make a care plan.
•   Screen, arrange, and monitor in-home help or other services, including assistance in hiring a qualified caregiver for home care.
•   Provide short- or long-term eldercare assistance for those engaged in local or long distance caregiving.
•   Review financial, legal, or medical issues and offer referrals to geriatric specialists.
