When there’s family conflict, Care Managers serve as a neutral third party that provides an unbiased assessment of the situation and guidance to families on the best options moving forward.
In this episode, Lisa and Nicole share the many ways an Aging Life Care professional (AKA Care Manager) can
- help diffuse family disagreements
- offer support in communication and advocacy
- provide effective navigation through a myriad of challenges and symptoms
- make recommendations based on our knowledge and experience
And as Lisa reflects, sometimes the missing piece is a good system of communication. Having someone like a Care Manager who can assist the family in finding effective ways to communicate with one another and create ways of sharing information helps to fill in the information gaps and provide all family members with the same information about a parent.
Diffusing family disagreements and finding common ground about what’s best for your parent isn’t always easy. With the help of an objective professional such as an Aging Life Care Professional (aka Geriatric Care Manager), you can find balance, as well as solutions.
