How do you honor your aging parent’s wish to remain at home, while you still get some peace of mind?

Age @ Home Elder Care Management helps adult children of aging parents by evaluating their loved one’s needs, then recommending the most appropriate, available and cost-effective services.

For long-distance caregivers, Age @ Home provides ongoing supervision of the aging parent and communication with the family. This helps avoid frequent and costly trips back to San Diego.

Here’s what we will do:

• Assess safety issues and fix them.
• Do all assessments in the client’s home.
• Conduct a full bio-psycho-social-spiritual evaluation.
• Hire professional caregivers if needed.
• Prepare a care plan custom-tailored to the situation.

Things to check for when visiting the folks:

• Frequent falls or unexplained bruises.
• Problems taking medications as prescribed.
• Bizarre or deviant behavior.
• Getting lost while driving or walking.
• Driving erratically.
• Extreme suspiciousness.
• Loss of interest in social activities and social isolation.
• Neglecting to pay bills or cash checks.
• A kitchen or bedroom fire.
• Not eating properly or regularly.
• Abusing alcohol or drugs.
• Confusion, poor judgment or increased forgetfulness.

If you notice any of these conditions, contact Age @ Home before things get worse. Trust us, ignoring little problems will just lead to bigger ones. The time to act is before a crisis, when you and your parent have a lot more options.
