Senior Care Advocacy Pittsburgh, Pa

Patient and Nurse

We offer many Solutions for families who live at a distance and/or Seniors and their families who are struggling to navigate the healthcare system. 

For adult children who live at a distance, knowing that mom & dad are struggling can be stressful. Living at a distance makes it impossible to know if their nutritional, safety and hygiene needs are being met. Our advocates can help. 

   We can support aging parents in any situation by providing                 the care, support and direction they need.

Through our comprehensive Care Management program, we will conduct a face to face meeting with your parents. This will allow us to ascertain the necessary information to lead them and you in the best direction. If they are in need of home assistance, meals, or home improvements we can recommend  and coordinate all necessary services. We will also oversee the services to assure the best care is being delivered to your parent.

If mom or dad would benefit from downsizing, we will help to locate the best housing options for them, whether it be an apartment setting or long term care setting such as assisted living or skilled nursing. We will be their support throughout life's transition to be sure all of their questions and needs are being met.  We can also take care of the actual move, coordinate the set up of furnishings and belongings in the new location and work with you and/or your parents to decide what is best for any items remaining.   We can also assist with setting up realtors for the sale of an existing home if needed. 

We act as an advocate and liaison between you & your parents to give you the peace of mind that they are ok. We will become your eyes and ears while assuring you that mom and dad are living as safely as possible in the best environment to meet their needs. We offer support services to  meet these goals:
