When an older family member is in need of assistance, families often find themselves faced with the difficult and time-consuming task of negotiating a complex array of services. Attempting to figure out complicated eligibility requirements and locating the most suitable services for an elderly family member can create stress and conflict within families. It is at this point when adult children or grandchildren -- especially those who are faced with a career and other responsibilities in addition to their caregiving concern -- seek assistance from qualified professional care managers. Most family members want to remain involved with the caregiving role as much as possible and use care managers for initial assessment and periodic consultation. Others, especially those who live at a great distance, employ geriatric care managers to oversee the long-term plan that has been arranged. Whether it is reaching across the miles or across the street, Source Finders can bridge the distance in providing caregiving solutions for the elderly.
