Indications for the Need of Care Management Services

In considering whether a LifeCompass Care Manager may be able to help you or your loved one, take a minute to ask yourself the following questions:

Does the aging individual:

• Live alone or are there no family members living close by?
• Frequently miss medical appointments?
• Show evidence of poor personal hygiene or poor nutrition?
• Have financial concerns or struggle with paying bills and writing checks?
• Have difficulty in maintaining their home?
• Have a recent trauma or sudden change in functioning?
• Have difficulty following doctor’s orders?
• Demonstrate confusion over medications?
• Show signs of depression or anxiety?
• Have recurring hospitalizations?
• Show evidence of falling?
• Continue to drive despite visual or medical limitations?
• Indicate a need for alternative living arrangements?
• Have a need to access community resources?
• Experience memory loss, dementia or Alzheimer’s?

Answering “yes’ to any one of these questions could indicate the need for a LifeCompass care manager.

Aging and the issues that arise are often complex, and can have several contributing factors. A LifeCompass Care Manager can provide direction to achieve goals of quality of life for the aging individual and peace of mind for the family. Call us at (616) 328-0952 to discuss how LifeCompass can help.
