Elder Care
Coaching Services
We
are more than a traditional elder care law firm, we are focused on
various aspects of quality of life that concern our Clients. For this
reason, we have a care coach who provides advocacy, guidance and
feedback where a law firm normally would not. A Care coach can help
Clients absorb the necessary information to make an informed decision
about supportive care.
We are
trying to prepare for the future in supportive and long-term care
services, which we see supportive care and long term care services being
driven by patients and consumers. By involving Elders in their
supportive and medical care decisions, we empower them to set their own
standards of care because they become a part of the process. We believe
this occurs through patient education and advocacy.
The
Elder should determine the care they need and mold what is in the
marketplace to their needs. Many providers would have us believe that
Elders should modify their own needs to what is available in the
marketplace. It is through Client advocacy and education, in addition
to the expertise of Rosenkranz Law Firm layering of benefits and
programs that the long-term care debate is redefined.
Principles that assist in determining an Elder Care services market
determined by consumers are:
·
Care that supports autonomy, dignity and privacy
·
Care availability that meets resident preferences
·
Care that focuses on the needs of the Elder rather than
the services of the Provider
·
Activities and environment of care that meet the level of
risk acceptable to the Elder
o
Having the choice to manage risk rather than paternalism
or care restrictions
This focus
on what Elders prefer rather than what Providers can offer is a
redefinition of the system.
