The long-term health care management of a loved one can put a tremendous physical and emotional burden on a family. What happens to my senior loved one if I get sick or live out of town? Who will care for my disabled or special needs child if my spouse and I should pass away? Many people throughout Hampton Roads faced with these and other questions need a place to turn to for help.
As a respected elder law attorney, Angela Manz frequently works with care managers to provide care management services to clients, offering relief and peace of mind for families with loved ones requiring extensive health care maintenance and advocacy due to age or disability. A care manager acts as a personal advocate for your family, helping ensure that your loved one receives the services they need, monitoring health care activities, and acting as backup when your family cannot care for someone due absences and illness or other unforeseen events.
We work with care managers in a team approach to coordinate legal and financial planning with available community resources in order to establish a complete and holistic plan of care for your loved one. The care manager will assess the client, whether at home or in an assisted living or nursing facility, and make recommendations to improve the quality of life for the older adult or special needs child. The care manager can assist the family if there are concerns as to the quality of care a loved one is receiving. Care managers can also help families with difficult decisions, such as when is it time to place mom and dad into a nursing home, or what type of housing is available for a a senior loved one.
