I'm so overwhelmed! Where do I begin?
- An initial consultation may be beneficial to identify immediate
need(s) and possible solutions.
- A comprehensive assessment can be performed to determine
specific needs. From there, options can be discussed and linkage to
services can be coordinated.
How can I ensure that my loved one is cared for
adequately when I live out of town? When do I know that he/she is
unsafe to live alone and what kind of assistance is needed to keep
him/her safe? Is a nursing home the only option?
- A care manager can monitor your loved one's situation, identify
problems needing addressed, make suggestions, advocate for quality
services, and assist with coordinating changes when necessary.
What is Care Management?
- A Care Manager specializes in assisting an individual and his/her
family with long-term care arrangements.
- A Care Manager can:
- Assist in identifying problems, eligibility for assistance, and
need for services
- Aid in screening, arranging, and monitoring in-home assistance or
other services
- Assist in reviewing legal or medical issues
- Act as a liaison to families at a distance, making sure things are
going well and alerting families to problems
- Help move an individual
- Offer support and more
- Care Managers have extensive knowledge regarding the costs, quality,
and availability of services in their community.
- One call to a Care Manager will connect you with the services you
may need.
What is a Power of Attorney?
- An individual able to make his/her own decisions may designate an
individual or organization to make decisions regarding his/her finances,
healthcare decisions, care, or living situation.
- This could become effective now or in the event that incapacity
occurs.
- One party may be designated as Financial Power of Attorney and
another may be designated as Healthcare Power of Attorney.
What is Guardianship and Conservatorship?
- If an individual has not designated a surrogate decision-maker and
is unable to do so, the court may need to intervene if a decision-maker
is needed.
- A party of interest can petition the court to bring the matter
before the court.
- The process can cost $3,000 or more, depending on the complexity of
the situation.
- A physician must indicate incapacity, an attorney is hired by the
petitioner, an attorney (Guardian Ad Litem) is appointed for the alleged
incapacitated person, and a Visitor is appointed to evaluate functional
status and to recommend to the court if a Guardian and/or Conservator is
needed.
- It is up to the court to determine if the individual requires a
Guardian and/or Conservator and who that party should be.
- A Guardian makes decisions surrounding healthcare, support services,
and the ward's living situation.
- A Conservator makes decisions surrounding the ward's asset
management and money management.
