The systems that families encounter as they help a loved one navigate health and memory changes are dysfunctional.
As Aging Life Care Professionals, aka Care Managers, we work within these systems daily — healthcare, housing, long-term care, legal, financial, local supports — and guide families as educators, interpreters, navigators, and advisors.
Making the best decisions on behalf of someone in your care can be overwhelming and made more complicated by these systems. Care Managers are here to assist in transitions, bring clarity, and turn discouragement and defeat into hope!
