Our most requested service is our assessment. Why do so many people seek an assessment of their eldercare situation?

Family members and professionals struggle with what is best for the elderly person. Having a good picture is key and objective, expert advice is invaluable for senior caregiving or disability situations.

Not every caller we speak to needs our full comprehensive assessment, but we have outlined below how that process works and the benefits. Other clients request individualized consulting services or assessment and resolution of a targeted concern.

The process of an assessment recognizes that to give good guidance and tailored recommendations, the professional geriatric care manager must understand the situation and evaluate different aspects of the person and their environment.
