Examples: Ms. B lives alone after her husband's death. Her children want her to move into an assisted living facility near them. She wants to stay in her own home with friends close by. What's the solution? An Elder Options' care manager recommends a family meeting either at Ms. B's home or at the Elder Options' office to talk about everyone's concerns. With the outside professional's help the family and Ms. B are able to discuss worries and wishes and come to a compromise that is acceptable to all. The care manager gives knowledgeable recommendations to support the decision explaining costs, availability, and community resources. Mr. T's adult children live close by and visit when they can. He needs help with cooking, laundry and transportation. He gets lonesome and depressed when he's alone. After talking with the daughter, an Elder Options' care manager sets up a home visit to meet Mr. T. and his daughter at his home. During the visit the care manager completes a professional assessment of what Mr. T's needs are. A decision is made to utilize a provider employee from Elder Options a few hours each day to help Mr. T. remain independent. The care manager will monitor the arrangement and make monitoring home visits to assure client safety, satisfaction, as well as emerging health issues.

Home Care Component

Our employees are the best! They are experienced and trained to be "your right hand person" when you can't be there. We know that being helpful and caring is a profession. Our in-home providers are professional, trained, and dependable. Regular "continuing education" training modules give our employees increased knowledge and skill about emerging health issues, dementia/Alzheimer's disease, emergency preparedness and other important topics. Elder Options offers continuing education units through the Bureau of Registered Nursing (BRN). They have experience as CNAs, HHAs and related fields. As the employer, Elder Options, Inc. pays all workers' compensation, payroll taxes, professional and general liability insurance.

All home care providers are regularly monitored by geriatric care managers for quality assurance, skill level, and client satisfaction. We offer on the job mentor training (two for one) at no cost to the client.
