Senior Care Management
Senior Care Management
Senior care services help individuals remain safe, independent, and engaged in leading enriched lives. It’s often the kind of in-home help that allows people to avoid moving out of their homes into a more expensive and less attractive setting.
This can include companionship and assistance with activities of daily living. Activities of daily living are routine activities that people do every day without needing assistance. An individual’s ability to perform these activities of daily living is an important part of understanding the type of services that are needed.
These services can also be utilized as a source of respite by another person who is providing care to their loved one. Many times, family caregivers enlist the help of someone else – whether a friend, sibling or paid professional – to help with certain tasks when they have their hands full. A professional from MD Patient Navigation can be a great relief to overworked family caregivers who need a break.
