Assessment

Are you worried about an aging loved one? Are you tired of finding dead ends when you’re looking for answers? Do you want to be ready to help your spouse or adult parent but don’t even know what questions to ask?

During our 50-minute assessment consultation, we’ll clarify your concerns, recommend a plan of action, and help you prioritize your next steps. This is the best way to start helping your aging loved one with his or her care needs.

Please note that our assessment consultation is a problem-solving session. If, however, you believe further assistance is required, a Silver Advisor can continue working on your issue(s) for an additional fee.

For an assessment consultation, call (877) 458-3767, or enter an appointment date and time in the fields above and click on Buy Now. Once you have completed the billing form and submitted your order, an email automatically alerts a Silver Advisor to contact you. Cost: $70.

Family conflict coaching: Few decisions are more difficult to make than what to do when a loved one can no longer care for himself or herself. When family members disagree, tension and anger can block creation of a solid plan of care. Learn more >>

Why pay for advice?

Adult children face tremendous obstacles caring for their aging parents, as do spouses of those with cognitive impairments and/or physical ailments.

Complex issues, a multiplicity of resources (some trustworthy, others less so), and health care red tape often exasperate caregivers. Confusion, anger, running around in circles—it all adds up, resulting in stress-filled days and sleepless nights for the caregiver and less-than-ideal care for the senior in need.

If the foregoing describes your situation, we have an answer for you. Our Silver Advisors are trained, knowledgeable, experienced eldercare professionals who can minimize your anxiety and frustration. For a small, reasonable fee, they provide practical advice and tips that will help you avoid chasing your tail and, most importantly, result in better care for your loved one.

Sometimes the best decision is to ask for help. Call now!
