It can be difficult to understand the challenge of living day in and day out with a chronic illness or neurodegenerative disease.

Care Managers at Your Elder Experts have years of experience helping individuals and their families manage daily and ongoing needs associated with chronic illness such as diabetes, congestive heart failure, multiple schlerosis, ALS, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. We can suggest options regarding homecare, caregiver respite, medical equipment, and home modifications and help advocate within the healthcare system, including being present at medical appointments.

We provide a full suite of care management services uniquely crafted to address our clients’ needs and improve quality of life.

A consultation can include any combination of clients, their families/care partners, and other concerned parties for a one time meeting or more if needed.

We will:

  • Engage in a conversation regarding safety, medical, emotional, financial and logistical concerns
  • Discuss how to best address those concerns and educate all parties on resources and options of care
  • Create a roadmap that tailors resources and suggestions based on individual needs. This may include referrals for estate planning, services to remain at home, housing alternatives, and community resources.

  • Medical management: coordinate discharge planning, navigate medical appointments and advocate with facilities and healthcare providers
