How We Help Families Arrange Elder Care From a Distance

It can be incredibly stressful to have a parent or grandparent in need of help when you live hundreds or thousands of miles away. We know you already have a lot on your mind as it is, and we want to simplify the process of setting up care for a loved one from afar. That's why we have specific measures in place to help long-distance families arrange care that will give them peace of mind and help them rest easy.

Take a look at some of the ways we've adapted our care process to address the concerns of long-distance families:

• We make it possible to join in on an initial consultation from a distance. You don't have to sit out your loved one's free care consultation just because you aren't in the same city. In fact, we encourage you to participate through whatever means are most convenient for you. You can take part over the phone, through email, or even with the support of a video application.
• We coordinate with families to develop care plans and schedules. You'll always have the final say on when and how we care for your loved one. As we create their customized care plan and schedule of caregiver visits, we will request your family's input to ensure it is in line with your priorities.
• We conduct ongoing conversations with long-distance families. Your communication with us won't end when your loved one's care begins. We work to ensure families are kept in the loop every step of the way with updates on the care recipient's well-being and any changes in their living situation or care requirements.
• We offer expert guidance that can help you make care decisions. Helping a loved one get started with care can be a difficult life experience, whether you live nearby or across the country. Fortunately, you will always have our compassionate team to rely on when you need guidance about making the right care decisions for their unique circumstances. Throughout their journey of aging in place, we'll be there to help them live life to the fullest while also supporting you and other concerned family members.
