I recently learned about Geriatric Care Management. It looks like a helpful service, but I want to hear about your experiences before I make the investment (it's not cheap). Does anyone have previous experience? How did they help and was it worth it?
I'm talking to a couple of agencies now to work something out. Thanks again to everyone who replied.
Sunnygirl1, I see how those problems could be a risk. I would definitely have to do my due diligence. I hope I get some positive responses too. But either way, I really appreciate your advice.
I'd be very careful about signing contracts with these agencies and even have an attorney review it before signing, to make sure of your obligation to the company. Unfortunately, you can still have problems, as with any kind of business.
If you are dealing with a loved one who has suspected cognitive decline or dementia, I'd pay extra attention to whether the person who will be meeting with and helping your LO manage things is REALLY trained and experienced for that kind of thing. If not, it can lead to things being overlooked, ignored and problematic.
I'd make sure that your LO's case would be a priority and that they don't have too many cases to keep up with. You can opt for various types of services with these agencies.
I'm sure there are some positive stories out there. I hope you'll get some of those stories here.
