Services
GuidedAging speaks dementia.
I'd like to share with you what a geriatric care manager can do. Here I've listed just a handful of the services I offer. Most of my clients are adult children who do not live near their aging parent(s). I am honored to serve as their advocate!
I encourage you to contact me, so we can set up a complimentary consultation to review your family's needs, dynamics, and expectations.
After our initial meeting, I will give you a brief proposal that covers short-term and long-term goals as well as my associated hourly rate. Package options are also available for ongoing needs or special projects.
To protect all parties involved, please know that I have full liability insurance, am bonded, and passed DOJ background-check clearance.
