Geriatric Care

Are you worried about an aging parent who lives alone, is unsafe for remembering to take their meds, and who may be at risk for falling?

Guests Carolyn Michaelis, owner of Parent Care Management, Highland, CA, and businesswoman Dorothea Dinsmore of Redlands, CA describe a possible solution to this worrisome problem. You will hear them explain and discuss a care service which consists of a staff of nurses, social workers, and caregivers who are available and on call to assist mature or aging parents.

They also address the following important questions. What is a geriatric care manager? How does a person or family know if they need one? When is it cost-effective to hire a parent care manager for services as opposed to doing them yourself? And finally, in what way does a manger serve as an advocate for the patient?
