What is an Elder Care Coordinator?

In our office, Elder Care Coordinators work with Mr. McGuffey in serving our clients. An Elder Care Coordinator is someone who specializes in assisting older people and their families attain the highest quality of life given their circumstances. An Elder Care Coordinator will:

• Help clients and families identify care problems and assist in solving them.
• Assist families in identifying and arranging in-home help or other services.
• Coordinate with medical and health providers.
• Review medical issues and offer referrals to other geriatric specialists to provide appropriate care while conserving financial resources.
• Provide support, guidance, and advocacy during a crisis.
• Help with coordinating transfer and transportation of an older person to or from a retirement complex, assisted care living facility, or nursing home.
• Provide education.
• Offer counseling and support.

Our Elder Care Coordinators do not provide healthcare services. Instead, they work with Mr. McGuffey and our clients on a broad range of issues as the firm provides advocacy services.
