WE WANT THE BEST FOR YOUR ELDER
LOVED ONE - JUST LIKE YOU
If you are here, you are worried about an older loved one. We can help.
You may have likely heard that the eldercare system is struggling. There is not enough staff. Emergency rooms are backed up more than ever. Wait times for non-urgent surgeries can be 1-2 months. Hospital stays are extremely brief. For example, hip replacement surgery can come with a same day discharge to home. And rehabilitation units are full to the rim. Home care agencies lack aides. In short, the eldercare system is stretched as far as it can go. Internet searches may add to your stress as not all of the available information applies to your situation and some information is wrong or outdated. A crisis means you must make decisions in a hurry which causes many to become overwhelmed.
Call us – there is no charge to learn how we can help your loved one. 585-424-2424.
We know you’ll be glad you called. A single consultation is a gift to your elder’s life. We have on-the-spot answers you can trust.
