HEALTH AND DISABILITY

From physical problems to mental health and dementia-related problems, Generations Lifecare Management Professionals uncomplicate Aging Adult Care by providing critical care management services at all care levels.  This could range from someone needing care management in their own home with Home Health or Hospice, to Hospital, Nursing Home, Assisted Living or Doctor’s appointments.  Generations Lifecare Management works as a liaison with the client, family, and medical professionals to ensure that optimal care goals are achieved and that the client’s voice is heard.

Unfortunately, in today’s aging adult healthcare climate, the landscape can be terrifying.  So many choices needing to be made during a time of uncertain health changes.  We all hear the news stories about national healthcare staffing shortages further adding to the anxieties of how to proceed to protect our loved one.  Even the top rated “5-Star” facilities in our area are fighting to fill the same staffing positions.  They are all utilizing the services of temp medical staffing agencies to try to fill their open positions or starting newly hired staff in positions prior to full training being completed… this means using staffing that is often unfamiliar with the facility, the equipment and procedures, not to mention the clients.  National staffing statistics in eldercare settings show care staff turnover rates exceeding 50% meaning that facilities are struggling to keep up with retaining the staff they do manage to hire.   Simply put, there isn’t enough nurses and caregivers to go around, no matter how pretty the facility may look!   This is where Generations Lifecare Management steps in to calm the storm.

With over 30+ years of Nursing Leadership experience in the Eldercare industry Generations Lifecare Management knows firsthand how these facility healthcare systems function.  If you have a professional representative in your corner, monitoring care services, advocating on your behalf, the attention to the care your loved one receives will improve… bottom line.  Generations Lifecare Management will partner with your aging adult care provider to ensure excellence in service which benefits you as well as them…. It’s a win-win!
