Family consultations are an opportunity to explore the client’s needs, family expectations and a starting point to understand and learn about the Aging or Death/Dying process. In addition, we offer such consultations to assist with resolving issues or conflicts within the family regarding the clients care.

Having an Aging Life Care Professional facilitate the discussion helps to clarify the objectives, and allows all participants to have a voice in the process.  An Aging Life Care Professional consult allows for an unbiased and impartial viewpoint, ensuring the best possible outcome for the client while taking into account each family members point of view. The consultations take place at the home of the client, unless otherwise requested by the family.

Meetings can be a one time event or on a recurring basis.

To help reduce employee stress and absenteeism due to care giving responsibilities, we also offer on-site Care Management Clinics, short one-on-one sessions where members of our team help employees plan for or problem solve around family care giving issues.
