A few of the many areas Your Eldercare Consultants can help families:
We Manage Transitions Related to Health and Aging
As you or your loved one age, changes naturally occur. Your Eldercare Consultants evaluates an older person’s ability to manage activities of daily living and creates personalized care plans with recommendations.
We provide valuable advice for families on home caregiver selection and oversight. We can accompany older adults to appointments with physicians and specialists. We also coordinate rehabilitation admission or discharge--easing transitions to and from hospital and home.
We are experts at navigating complex health systems and long-term care insurance benefits. We are there to advocate on your behalf with doctors, health providers, and insurance and financial organizations.
Don’t worry about not knowing. We perform the important task of monitoring and reporting on a loved one’s well-being to families. And whenever you need them, we reach into our contacts and provide those referrals to legal, medical and other specialists, such as attorneys or estate planners.
Neurological disorders are our specialty. Your Eldercare Consultants are equipped to help families plan and manage emerging neurocognitive disorders, such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and other related dementias.

We Provide Guidance on Housing Options, Including Aging in Place
We can help you determine the best type of housing for you or your loved one. We compare and contrast various options and present the full spectrum of living options available, including how to make accommodations to facilitate aging-in-place wherever possible, as well as independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing and memory care.
We go a step beyond what housing venue websites and marketers offer, and can give you both an unbiased perspective on housing options – as well as personal perspective on housing sites and caregiver providers based on our own experiences, interactions and history from past and present client families we’ve served. With information on different levels of care and associated costs, we help educate, explain and analyze options for you, and can recommend appropriate levels of care solutions, even assisting in long-term care placement if necessary.
We Handle Complex Situations
When family members can’t agree on the best care for an aging family member, feel overwhelmed, lost, or just “stuck” in a complex situation, our team can provide unbiased, expert advice. We help address conflicts within families, and find creative solutions while offering a fresh perspective, expertise and connections.
We also provide long-distance caregiving oversight and advise family caregivers when they live far away from loved ones -- or intermittently, when family caregivers need to travel, are otherwise unavailable or simply need respite.
When you need more support and to add people to your team: families who work with us enjoy direct access to CJE SeniorLife and its numerous programs, services, resources and professional experts.
