For years, we have provided the following forms of assistance to help families meet the demands and manage the stress that Alzheimer’s, dementia and caring for aging parents can pose:
Coaching: Our care managers all hold advanced degrees and act as coaches to assist with problem solving and create solutions to manage the changes that develop as illness progresses. We always focus on “quality of life” for everyone, which means reducing stress for family members and protecting the self-esteem and sense of self-worth of those with the illness. Aging Life Care ManagersTM also refer families to community resources, outreach programs, grants and entitlements. Get to know our Care Management Team!
