Elder Care Management Defined

In general, the role of an elder care manager is to help our clients and families navigate the transitions of aging and ensure the proper guidance, resources, and support are in place. An effective eldercare manager acts like the “coach” or “concierge” to lead the client down the right path to aging well.

An ELITE Elder Care Manager is a nurse that conducts a detailed assessment that includes mental, physical, emotional, and psychological health. ELITE nurse provides medication management, physician referrals, manages and accompanies clients to physician appointments, and communicates with the 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 quality of life.

Elder Care Management

It is common that families experience challenges with transitioning a loved one to a different living setting or while making 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, locating a nursing facility, respite care, home care agency, or caregiver. ELITE can assist with finding the right resources and learning how to access them, or making regular visits to your loved one, and 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 are your advocates on this often difficult journey.

There is no cost for the initial consultation. You and your ELITE advisor can 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 completed 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, sometimes there is so much information being offered that it is nearly impossible to sort out what you have been explained to you.

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.
