Caring for a loved one who is facing multiple medical or mental health challenges can be overwhelming. From managing their healthcare needs to navigating complex legal and financial matters, the responsibilities can quickly become daunting. This is where the role of an Aging Life Care Professional (ALCP) care manager can be invaluable.
When should families hire an ALCP Care Manager for their loved one?
Complex Medical/Mental Health Issues: If your loved one is dealing with multiple medical or mental health issues and cannot live safely on their own, an ALCP care manager can provide the necessary support and coordination of care to ensure their well-being.
Confusion about Financial, Legal, or Medical Matters: Many individuals facing health challenges may become confused or overwhelmed when it comes to managing their finances, legal affairs, or medical decisions. An ALCP care manager can offer clarity and guidance in navigating these intricate matters.
Exploring New Care Options: Whether it’s transitioning to assisted living, exploring home healthcare services, or considering other care options, an ALCP care manager can assess your loved one’s needs and preferences and help you explore the best available options.
Limited Family Support: If distance or other circumstances limit your ability to provide hands-on care for your loved one, an ALCP care manager can serve as your eyes and ears, ensuring that your loved one’s needs are met and advocating on their behalf.
How do I find an ALCP care manager?
Finding the right ALCP care manager for your loved one is crucial. The Aging Life Care Association (ALCA) offers a directory of ALCPs, making it easier for families to find qualified professionals in their area. Additionally, Courtney Hogenson, the RN-Founder/CEO of Call-Light, is an ALCA member, providing another avenue for accessing expert care management services.
