A person’s dreams, goals, and future plans do not stop at retirement nor while aging. The care of a loved one as they move through the next stages of their life or when a sudden illness occurs can be overwhelming and devastating.
Bridging Milestones, a Geriatric Care Management company, is a local resource that can help. Staci Miller, owner of Bridging Milestones explains that the company acts as an advocate and liaison with seniors and their family members, physicians, attorneys, home health agencies, long term care facilities, hospitals and hospices.
“A relationship with a professional geriatric care manager can allow children and grandchildren to be just that, enjoying the time they have with their seniors while someone else manages the situation.” The care manager can address the immediate problem, remain connected once the crisis passes and get involved again as the situation requires it.
Geriatric Care Managers assist in
Housing - helping families evaluate and select appropriate level of residential options.
Safety & Security – Recommending technologies to add to the security and safety of families.
Medical Management – Attending doctor appointments, facilitating communication between doctor, client, and family.
Home Care Services – Determining types of services that are right for a client and assisting the family to engage and monitor those services.
In good times and crisis situations, Bridging Milestones is available to bring compassion and solutions to your senior family member. Staci Miller states, “The reward is seeing the look in our families’ eyes that says we’ve really done something – we have made a difference.”
