~ The Right Move ~

We're asked frequently, "When is the right time to move Mom and Dad?" That always seems like an odd question. 

There are very few seniors who look forward to moving from their family home, and especially not to a care facility!  But when we explore what's behind the question, we learn what the real concerns are.

  • Your elderly loved ones might not be eating well or not taking medication when they should.

  • They might be a little too nervous to be out driving but too proud to ask for someone for a ride.

  • Or your parents are in a cycle of trips to the ER, followed by rehab stays, without getting the support they need when they go home. 

Sound familiar? We know all about it.That's why we've developed two services to help your loved ones make The Right Move:

Discharge Planning

If you've been to the hospital recently, then you know how complicated and confusing healthcare has become. Who's the attending physician? Who's the admitting doctor?  What tests are being done and why? When will we know something? And after treatment or surgery, are you surprised to learn at the last minute that your family member is being discharged? Do you know what kind of place they're sending your loved one to? Have you been a part of anything that happened at the hospital? Did your experience at the hospital make you feel helpless?

Let us help you!
While your loved ones are in the hospital.

We work with the care manager or discharge planner to plan for the care they need when they leave the hospital.  We help you choose the best rehab or arrange skilled care at home. Our goals are to make the process as easy and understandable as we can while ensuring that your seniors are getting the care they need.

Finding a New Home

We know that moving from home is one of the most challenging decisions an older adult might make in his or her lifetime.  Typically, we help clients move who need more care than they can afford at home.  Round the clock home care may cost more than $10,000 per month.  That's right….per month.  Assisted living facilities, who provide 24/7 care, cost $2,000 per month to $5,000 per month.  But do they need assisted care, something more independent or more skilled care? 

We are experts in this field! We stay current with the owners, staff, and licensing of all care facilities in Northeast Florida. When we do our assessment, we evaluate your loved ones needs and financial resources and match them with the facilities and services that will meet their needs.  Then we give you a written report so you can compare the choices you have to provide more services for your loved ones at home, or check out the care facilities that we recommend.

 

From discharge planning...to obtaining necessary legal documents...to finding a new home ...we'll help you make The Right Move.

Family Discharge Planning

As important as it is to know what to expect when your relative enters the hospital, it is just as essential to know what happens when he is ready to leave.  The Family Discharge Planning booklet is a guide to the discharge planning process.  Because you will continue to be involved in your relative’s care, you need to know about what happens next.  This booklet will help you get started.”
