Are you caring for parents’ long distance and want to have a qualified social worker visit them and assess their needs?
Are you caring for a spouse at home and need a professional to evaluate your situation and give recommendations for safety and care needs?
Do you live alone and want to know your options for care and assistance as you age in place?
These are just some of the reasons you may benefit from a comprehensive in-home geriatric assessment.
This comprehensive assessment includes the following:
