A visit to the home of your aging parents may reveal several areas of concern. Seeing bills, mail and piles of paper taking over the kitchen table can be a real sign that something is changing and needs to be monitored.
For over 20 years, Your Eldercare Consultants have provided professional bill-paying and organizational services to older adults and their families. We can:
- Organize records and paperwork and set up a simplified filing system.
- Pay bills and balance the checkbook.
- Manage medical and insurance billing.
- Negotiate with creditors if bills have gone into collection for lack of payment.
- Assess whether this is a symptom of a bigger problem.
We have the experience, and secure protocols protected by a thorough audit process, to make sure that important documents are filed correctly and that bills are paid on time. The result? Peace of mind, a sense of control, and relief that the situation is being monitored by professionals.
Problem
A brother, who lives in New York, called Your Eldercare Consultants to check on his older sisters who live together in Chicago. He doesn’t come to town often but talks to them every week by phone. The care manager made a home visit and discovered that the sisters had no filing system and important papers were scattered throughout the living room.
Solution
Your Eldercare Consultants:
- Organized the papers and created a filing system
- Established a routine of monthly visits to help the sisters sort through their mail, file papers and pay their bills.
- Worked with the sisters and their brother to complete their Powers of Attorney for Property and Healthcare and notified their doctors.
The sisters look forward to these productive visits which have greatly improved their living conditions and sense of well-being. They are also relieved to know that they can call Your Eldercare Consultants for other reasons too, for example a care manager can accompany them to the hospital in case of emergency. Their brother is reassured that his sisters are safe and that their bills are paid on time.
