Are you the only one trying to provide care for your elderly parent or other loved one? Maybe you’re an only child or perhaps family members don’t live close enough to help, but the majority of the caring for your elderly loved one falls on your shoulders. You’re not alone. Many family caregivers are the sole caregivers or do it with minimal help from family or friends. That kind of responsibility can be overwhelming and too much to bear as your loved one gets older and requires more specialized care. One option to consider if you need a little helping hand is hiring a care management professional.
A care management provider who is trained in helping you care for your aging loved one can give you the help you need while providing both you and your loved one with the peace of mind that all of your loved one’s needs will be addressed and managed by someone who not only cares for her but has a wealth of knowledge regarding the care your loved one might need.
Care managers don’t only see your loved one as a number or an assignment, but will get to know you and your loved one on a personal level so they can make sure you both receive the help that you need on a level that is comfortable for you both. They will come to the home and develop a relationship with your loved one that will make him more receptive to changes and suggestions they may have to help him live safely and well.
Here are just a few areas a care management professional may be able to help you and your loved one with.
Finding Resources
If you just don’t know where to go to look for help, a care management professional can help you get started in the right direction and may even be able to find exactly what you need. Whether it’s financial advice you’re seeking, or legal guidance you need, a care management provider can help you find professionals that specialize in elder care issues.
Coordinating Appointments
If your loved one has multiple specialists, doctors, and groups she needs to attend, a care management provider can help you coordinate those appointments so there is less driving your loved one from place to place. They might help you find other transportation for your loved one (giving you a break) or they can work with the providers to coordinate one trip to cover multiple providers if they are all located in one complex.
Arranging Relief
When you need a break, your care manager can help you find services that will provide you with the respite you need. Their expertise can help you take a break knowing your loved one is receiving the care she needs while you take a little time taking care of yourself.
Don’t neglect to look into a care manager to help you care for your loved one. You both will reap the benefits of having one on your team.
