Community-Based Services - Some elders prefer to remain in their own home. As such, we refer employees to community-based services that are designed to help older people stay independent and remain in their own home.
Durable Medical Equipment - We help employees find the products and equipment necessary to assist their elders in the activities of daily living.
Home Health Care - We locate services for rehabilitation, medical, or nursing care for employees' elders. Other related services include social work, personal care, and home health services.
Hospice - We provide employees with hospice referrals for the care of a person with a limited life expectancy. This care can be in a home or "home-like" setting in a hospital, a nursing home, or freestanding facility. A team of professionals who offer care for the whole family provides these services. Comfort care with pain and symptom control is provided rather than active disease treatment.
Housing - Our consultants provide guidance and information to employees seeking appropriate housing for their elders. With help, employees identify what the elders' needs are and decide which type of facility is best. Housing options for elders include subsidized housing, residential care, assisted living facilities, continuing care retirement communities, nursing homes, and hospice facilities.
Emergency/Respite Care - We help employees find home care, adult day services, or temporary placements for their elders, as needed. Sometimes situations occur suddenly and require immediate attention and action. We are able to help employees with these situations.
Estate Planning - We provide employees with referrals to the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA) and certified financial planners.
Legal and Medical Referrals - We locate members of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys in an employee's area. We look for physicians who specialize in geriatrics, or centers that provide comprehensive assessments.
Long Term Care Insurance - We provide consultation, resources and referrals regarding insurance that may cover part or all of the employee's expenses for the long-term care of their elders. This coverage may pay for care in the elder's home, a nursing home, an adult day center or an assisted living facility. We also provide employees with information about what to look for in long term care insurance benefits and coverage, as well as state regulations or plans.
Medicaid - We provide employees with information about the Medicaid program, which is a joint federal/state program administered by each state. Medicaid pays for health care services for children, elders and certain disabled adults with very low income and very limited assets. We provide assistance with information about program eligibility and services.
Medicare - Our consultants provide information about the federal Medicare program that may be available for an employee's elders. We provide information about Medicare, such as what and to whom the program covers.
