This site is the result of what happens when a Geriatric Care Manager Nurse collides with a Professional Web Developer. Well, partly!
After seeing so many families traumatized by the confusing act of attempting to place their loved one in a "home"- I felt it necessary to provide an arena for those in that difficult position to come and receive the help they need to find a home for their loved one. I don't think this site will ever be completed as there is always changes and additions to be made. There are national sites similar to this one with little or no information in our area. Please notice as you walk through our site that you will not have to give us your name, address, make an ID or a password or give us your credit card number or a quart of blood in order to search this site for a home. This site is for you! And if there is something on this site you would like to have us research or if you know of a business that is not on here please email us and we will be happy to put it on here for you.
Placing a loved one in a care facility can be one of the most difficult decisions a family member can make. What type of care does the person need? What does it cost? and how will they pay for it? What should I have them take with them? These are just some of the questions one may ask when considering placement.
Many times when leaving the hospital, a professional Discharge Planner will assist you to make these decisions. But for those who would like to make this decision themselves, then this web site is for you. It was created to provide all the valuable information one might need to help make an "informed decision". It will educate you and provide the tools you need to begin your journey. We have also added printable Power of Attorney and Advance Directive forms as well as guides to assist you.
We sincerely hope that this site make the job of searching for the needs of senior citizens easier and less complicated. |
