Grace Care Management

"This company is amazing. Cindy and her team have extensive knowledge on the ongoing care for the infirm and elderly. Our family member had a massive stroke and Cindy evaluated him, guiding us through the whole process of facility placement, immediate healthcare concerns and finally ongoing in-home care upon discharge. She evaluates the needs of the patient and helps the family navigate through the complex and confusing healthcare system. More importantly, she can fore...see problems before they arrive. Cindy has had alot of experience in stroke and brain injury rehab in the past so her help was invaluable. She also understands the aspects of elder care that families may not (like insurance), and the other nuances today's long term care environment. She truly cares about her patients and follows up at all hours of the day. I would hire Grace Care Management in the future should the need arise.. " C.R.

Three things to remember when... Your elderly loved one is falling through the cracks of the health care system: 1. If you are your family member's legal representative and you are not getting the responses and answer you need from you health care providers... keep asking. Call, email, fax. ... Persistence is important! 2. If something is of concern to you and you are unsatisfied with the response from the front line office workers, ask to speak to the office supervisor or "case manager" in home health care or hospice agencies. Run it up the chain of command. Work arounds are important! 3. Many important things, sometimes even physician orders get missed, misinterpreted or just plain stuck somewhere in the process of moving between different levels of care. Ask for a copy of the discharge orders so you can follow up. Connecting the dots is important! When you need information and support in the process, call Grace Care Management @ 760-789-9177 #eldercare #geriatrics #advocate #sandiego #elders #sd

Three things to remember when... Your elderly loved one lives alone and you worry about them. 1. Help them install a safety alert system! There are many out there at very reasonable monthly fees. This will alert emergency personnel if there is a fall or other urgent issues needing immediate attention.... 2. If that's not possible, call them to "check in" frequently. A call may not seem like much to you but to them it can be sunshine on their cloudy day. A huge neurotransmitter boost with no pharmaceutical side-effects. 3. If you are not able to visit, hire a caregiver or a geriatric care manager to go check in on them frequently if you cannot. It can be as little as a couple hours a few days a week. They can not only be companionship and a friend, they can make sure there's food in the refrigerator, that your loved one is taking their medications and most importantly, that they're safe.
