Business Description: At Senior Alternatives we offer a truly unique approach to Homecare and Care Management: - Our trained Caregivers are teamed with Masters-level Care Managers. - We employ a highly skilled multi-disciplinary staff, ensuring successful implementation of the care plan. - Our high-level clinical skills enable us to manage the most clinically complicated situations. - Since our company is locally-owned and not a franchise, we pride ourselves in being able to offer personal, immediate attention to all of our clients. All members of our interdisciplinary team are Masters-level geriatric specialists who have years of experience working in areas of dementia, hospice, chronic medical conditions and disabilities. In addition, we have developed relationships with reputable physicians, nurses and other geriatric professionals and utilize these experts as appropriate. While our focus is on older adults, we work with all ages of people where care management and homecare services are needed. Psycho-Social Assessment: After an initial phone consultation, our Care Manager will arrange a time to visit the client and involved parties at the client’s place of residence and complete an initial assessment. The Care Manager will gather information about the older adult’s emotional and health status, medication management, current health care providers, home safety, caregiver stress and burden, preferred social activities, long-term care financing, family and social support, and the older adult’s ability to live independently in their present situation. The assessment will not only document and review current concerns, but will also assist in anticipating and planning for future needs. Specialized Care Plan Based on information gathered during the initial assessment, the Care Manager develops a care plan to address areas of concern. Recommendations may include homecare, counseling, education, alternative living arrangements, socialization plans, medical, legal and financial referrals and benefit entitlements. In addition, the Care Manager can serve as the liaison between health care providers, other social service agencies and the client and involved family members. Care plans are regularly monitored for effectiveness and adjusted to address changing needs. If homecare is warranted, Senior Alternatives offer a unique homecare model that combines the expertise of our professional care management team with experienced, compassionate and dedicated caregivers. Because our company is small, we pride ourselves in being able to offer personal, immediate attention to all of our clients. We have a long track record of providing consistent high quality care. Support for Family Members Our experienced staff knows how challenging it can be to ensure the safety and well-being of an older family member. Therefore, Senior Alternatives will often provide recommendations in the care plan to address easing caregiver stress brought about by family care giving responsibilities.
