Do you have an elder in your life that you sometimes worry about? If you do, then you know how difficult it can be supporting them in accepting elder care, coordinating it, and overseeing the care. Do you know that Care Managers help with all of this? Aging Life Care Managers are trained professionals who are governed by an association called The Aging Life Care Association, serving the United States and Canada. Our staff at We Care Management, LLC are Advanced Professionals in this association because we have the highest credentials for our field, showing we are experts.
As people age, they often acquire difficulties with their health and daily functioning and therefore have more stress and more things to “manage”. It can become a full-time job taking care of one’s life as they navigate through the aging process, whether it is the individual themselves managing everything or a family member or friend. We often see these circumstances lead to increased frustration, worry, sadness, and a loss of the ability to have enough time to take part in enjoyable activities. Because there are multiple health issues to deal with and therefore many appointments, in addition to all of the other daily life tasks, people can become overwhelmed and sometimes forget appointments or plan for them on the wrong day.
If you or someone you know is experiencing something similar to this, we encourage you to ask for help in managing some of this, so you and your loved ones can still have time and energy for enjoyable activities in your day to day lives! Some Aging Life Care Managers provide licensed counseling services and help individuals find ways of relieving your emotional distress and overall stress! For adult children who live far away from their parents, they can even provide Teletherapy counseling via a secure video chat.
If you have any questions about Care Management as a resource, reach out to We Care Management, LLC to allow us the honor of supporting you in helping the elder in your life! If you don’t live in Northern Virginia we can point you in the right direction!
