Caring From A Distance

Joan lives at home over 300 miles from her daughter, Brigid. Joan’s dementia has caused significant concern for Brigid. While Joan is adamant about staying at home, her physician is recommending an assisted living facility. Brigid feels as though her mother should move closer.

An ElderTouch Health licensed professional performs a comprehensive assessment, develops a care plan, and identifies a facility, close to Joan’s home, that is equiped to meet Joan’s needs. Joan’s doctor is comfortable with the plan and facility. The ElderTouch Health professional continues to support Joan’s daughter through the care decisions ensuring that appropriate decisions are made.

Brigid is relieved. She knows that her mother is receiving the appropriate care.
