What is Coordination of Services

Coordination of Services means that because your loved one may need a wide variety of services, you also need someone to make sure all of these services are carefully selected and properly coordinated based on insurance coverage and financial needs.

Caregiver

Care includes hiring an individual from a local home care service. They provide personal care for your loved one to enable more independent living. The personal care provider can include, but is not limited to, light housekeeping, making meals, bathing, and ensuring your loved one is taking his or her meds. We coordinate client needs with medical professionals.

Does your loved one need prescriptions delivered or picked up? Could they use help to ensure they do not run out of prescriptions? Are they taking their medications correctly? Are expired medications being disposed of properly?

Transportation

Transportation for doctor appointments, hospital procedures, local errands and other important trips can vary depending on the mobility and level of independence your family member might exhibit. We can help.

Moving/Relocation Assistance

Because moving and relocation can be an emotional event, this can be a big help. If handled with care and compassion, moving and relocation assistance can help to ease the transition from one residence to another. Matching the right kind of environment to your loved one’s needs is critical to their quality and enjoyment of life.

Property & Auto Sales

Whether family is nearby or not, it can be helpful to have a neutral party provide assistance in arranging the sale of a home and/or vehicles. We provide guidance to determine whether a property or a vehicle needs to be sold or can be modified to support quality and enjoyment of life for your family member without having to move. If it is best that a home or property be sold, we work with local realtors or the professional realtor of your choice to help with the sale of the home and to support transitioning from the home to another residence.

Pet Care

Pets can be a vital part of helping a family member to feel happier, less stressed and more at ease when things are changing around them. We can arrange support services such as pet grooming and veterinarian appointments to help ease the burden of caring for pets.

Wellness & Fitness

Daily exercise and attention to diet are key to quality and longevity of life. If your loved one needs assistance in this area, we provide guidance and support in selecting the right mix of services to serve your family member.

Other Services

We arrange lawn care and home inspections to guarantee regular replacements of filters, and asbestos and smoke alarm batteries. Setting barber shop and hair salon appointments are examples of services we provide so your family member is living in a safe home that is well cared for as well as getting out socially for self-care appointments and meeting friends.
