Start With a Plan
Why Age In Place?
Planning is crucial for seniors who wish to age-in-place. Many seniors prefer to stay in a safe and familiar environment close to their friends and neighbors. This choice is known to have a positive impact on their health, well-being, happiness, and peace of mind.
According to some studies, it may cost over twice as much for seniors to live in a private room in a nursing home or senior living community in New York State compared to staying at home with a home health aide.
As an age-in-place specialist, I provide outreach, assessment, and supportive care management services to seniors who choose to age at home or in a place of their preference.
My services include regular check-ins, emergency support, assistance with healthcare and hospitalization, as well as coordinating home care. I also assess and help enroll individuals in programs that support seniors in aging at home or in a place of their choice.
In my role, I support you, your family members, and your healthcare provider to create a home care plan. I help you develop and achieve health and recovery plans, as well as other life goals. This includes assisting you in accessing necessary health, behavioral health, and other social services supports, and connecting you to the community resources you need.
