What Is Elder Care Navigation?

Elder care navigation is a comprehensive service in which our experienced elder care attorneys closely guide our elder law clients through the steps of implementing personalized elder care solutions. At Your Legacy Legal Care®, we continue our commitment through the steps of moving to a care facility — or adjusting home amenities to accommodate a tailored at-home elder care plan for clients that do not choose to move to a facility. We work to ease your burdens so that you and your loved ones can focus on what matters most during this transition and into the future.

Many seniors hope to continue living in their own home instead of a nursing home or assisted living facility for as long as possible, due to costs, preferred lifestyle, and other reasons. However, as an experienced elder care attorney knows, the process of aging can sometimes make this an unattainable goal for many seniors and their caregivers.

Transitioning to elder care is a monumental step that can feel overwhelming without the right support. Your Legacy Legal Care® provides personalized assistance through this major step in your loved one’s elder years. Together, we will walk you through a seamless transition tailored to you or your loved one’s needs.

Our elder care navigation services can include:

• Logistics to move to an elder care facility
• Preparing and implementing care plans for elderly clients who choose to remain at home
• Adjusting plans as needed, according to new information or changing preferences learned during or after the transition to the elder care facility

Facilitating Care Plans At Home

For those remaining at home, we address needs in a comprehensive care plan, including medical care, home modifications, and caregiver assistance. Our elder care attorneys collaborate with Geriatric Care Managers to draft care plans that align with both personal preferences and legal obligations.

As part of our care coordination services, we can assess the practicality of options for remaining in your home as you age — according to your needs and the details of your unique health, aging, and family or support circumstances.

Planning the Logistics When Moving to an Elder Care Facility

We hold your hand through each step of the process when it is time to implement your plan:

• Coordinating logistics to manage a smooth move to the facility.
• Establishing a clear timeline for the transition.
• Having our geriatric care managers collaborate with family members and movers to schedule transport and delivery of personal belongings.
• Making arrangements for temporary caregiving, if necessary, during the transition period.

If you have any questions when preparing these steps, we are here to help you. Geriatric care management involves many considerations that could be common or specific for different individuals. We are here to pursue the right solutions for you.

Monitoring and Adjusting the Plan as Needed After Moving into a Care Facility

After the move, we continue to provide support by monitoring a care facility resident’s adjustment to their new environment. We coordinate with clients and their families to:

• Check-in with the client and their family within a few weeks of the transition.
• Have our geriatric care managers review facility care reports and address any issues, such as changes in the client’s health or disputes with staff.
• Update legal and financial plans as circumstances evolve.
