Elder Care Management Defined

Overall, the role of an elder care manager is to assist in guiding clients and/or their families through the transitions of aging loved ones. They help to navigate the transitions of aging and ensure the proper guidance, resources, and support are in place and available to you. The elder care manager can be an experienced coach in the geriatric field, a licensed social worker, or have experience in many other related fields.

How do ELITE differ?

An ELITE Elder Care Manager is a nurse that conducts a detailed assessment that includes mental, physical, emotional, and psychological health. ELITE nurses can also provide medication management, physician referrals, and therapy referrals. They accompany clients to physician appointments, and can communicate with the medical interdisciplinary team. In addition, ELITE elder care managers assess physical functionality, living conditions, socio-economic environment, social circles, family involvement, and any other key factors that may assist in determining the best quality of life for the client or their loved one.

Elder Care Management

It is common for families experience challenges with transitioning a loved one into a different living setting, or while making important healthcare decisions and navigating the healthcare system. Allow ELITE Senior Advisers to help. Our services can include facilitating essential conversations between family members and healthcare workers, or locating a nursing facility, respite care, home care agency, or caregiver. ELITE can also assist with finding the right resources and learning how to access them, or making regular visits to your loved one, providing you with peace of mind.

ELITE nurses will customize our services for your family. You will have someone to partner with outside of your family to do research, talk to medical providers, find appropriate resources, and assist in developing a customized plan to meet your loved one's needs. We pledge to be your advocates on this often difficult journey.

There is no charge for the initial consultation. You and your ELITE advisor can use this time to get to know each other and decide if working together is a good fit to meet your needs.

Medical Consultation

An ELITE Senior Adviser will conduct a detailed assessment to determine the next steps in your medical journey. The 30-minute FREE telephone consultation will be used to determine what care services are required for optimum health. ELITE will coordinate all care appointments to reduce any unwarranted stress or anxiety that is associated with health care concerns.

Allow an ELITE Adviser to collaborate with your care physicians to create a personalized plan of care. This proactive approach is fundamental in reducing unforeseen hospitalizations, illness and care crisis.

In addition, ELITE can coordinate transportation, meals, cleaning services, home care, hospice, therapy services, durable medical equipment needs and meet clients at medical appointments.

Advocacy and Family Coaching

An ELITE advocate is a nurse on your side, especially when things get complicated. When navigating the healthcare system, we understand that sometimes there is so much information being offered that it is nearly impossible to sort through what has been explained to you and make an informed decision.

As your nurse advocate and family coach, we will do our best to ensure that everyone understands the information being distributed and that your questions are answered appropriately.
