Private Care Services Frequently Asked Questions: Answered!
Have you been wondering whether a care manager or caregiver is right for you? Are you struggling to take care of an older adult at home? Are you personally finding it hard to keep track and maintain your daily calendar of events such as family events, medical appointments, and social calendar?
10 Early Signs and Symptoms of Alzheimers
If you notice any of the 10 Warning Signs of Alzheimer’s in yourself or someone you know, don’t ignore them. Schedule an appointment with your doctor.
Home Modifications
Home improvements, modifications and repairs can help older adults maintain their independence and prevent accidents. A home modification adapts a living space so that occupants can live safely, perform tasks better and live independently, despite their physical limitations.
Dealing with Resistance
For older adults, the difficulty accepting that they need help is related to a feeling of loss of control and a wish to not be a burden to family members.
Dementia Management
All of our Care Managers are experts in the field of Alzheimer’s Disease and other related memory disorders, with years of specialized education and work experience.
Family Caregiver Stress
A major component of our service model is education for adult children to reduce their own stress around caring for their parent.
Mental Illness Management
We use a “check-in” protocol for symptom management and monitoring that enables our Care Managers to closely track our client’s mental state and ensure rapid response should symptoms appear.
Developmental Disabilities
At Senior Alternatives, we apply the same social work skills we use with our seniors to our children and adults with developmental disabilities.
Placement Assistance
We do not accept any financial consideration from the facility selected for placement. Instead, we charge an hourly fee.
