What does a care coordinator do?
A care coordinator helps your family develop, implement, and monitor care arrangements for elderly or disabled loved ones. A care coordinator is involved in all discussions about finding and paying for care, helping you weigh the financial implications of each care decision. Services include:
- Conducting assessments to identify needs and develop appropriate care plans
- Helping families find resources and community services
- Monitoring in-home health or companion services
- Acting as a liaison between the elderly or disabled loved one and family members living at a distance. In addition to monitoring the loved one’s situation, our firm provides a local presence who has detailed knowledge about local service providers and community resources.
- Transitioning the elder to a new living situation including a retirement community, assisted living or a skilled nursing facility
- Reviewing care issues and referrals to appropriate community resources as necessary
- Providing independent advocacy to the elder and their family concerning health care products and services
- Providing input on the quality and availability of resources within the community
