As a professional geriatric care manager, I sometimes get asked…”Why would someone use a service like yours? Anyone can do what you do.”
Part of me wants to be offended by this statement, but the answer to the question is also exactly why the person is asking it.
You don’t know what you don’t know.
When it comes to navigating the senior living communities, hiring and managing caregivers, applying for Medicaid, or figuring out insurance…there is A LOT people don’t know. Could they figure it out if they had unlimited time and energy to devote to the task? Maybe.
But in our hectic world, where family members already have families of their own and full-time jobs, they don’t have the luxury of unlimited time and energy to figure this stuff out.
