Elder care

Support for elders in need of         assistance with activities of         daily living may fall to the         healthier spouse and         family members.         In some situations,         there are no family members         or a spouse to fill this need to         provide care for the elder. Community resources for elder care are available but often are under-utilized. Private organizations and government services agencies provide direct elder care as well as support for the caregiver. Elder care services are available in the elder's home on a part time or full time basis. Respite elder care can be obtained as a day care or residential service. More choices are available for elder care than is usually understood. Options should be fully explored. Integrated Care Consultants will be able to explain and explore the options and choices of elder care that will be most appropriate for your needs. Consultants will be able to work with you as your needs change and the plans need to be revised.                         Integrated Care Consultants can give direction to help connect the dots between                                     elder care needs, available services, and family resources.
