Caring for aging relatives can be overwhelming to navigate alone. At no cost to you, the Firm’s Senior Care Planning Program through Care.com helps you find quality adult and senior care services.
SENIOR CARE PLANNING PROGRAM
When you register for your complimentary premium Care.com account through the Firm, you’ll be able to work with Master’s degree-level social workers who can help you to develop customized elder care action plans, negotiate provider rates and even facilitate family meetings – all at no cost to you.
Care.com’s social workers and elder care professionals will:
- Refer you to elder care attorneys and financial, residential and health care planning resources for your loved one.
- Assist in coordinating care for a loved one who’s nearby or out of state.
- Help you find the right care when you need it, including companions to check in on your out-of-town parents on a weekly basis, local accountants to help them with their finances, or attorneys specializing in Medicare.
- Facilitate meetings with you and your family members to help you agree on care plans – from what type of care is needed to how to pay for it.
