Accountable Aging provides peace of mind. Whether you
live close by or at some distance from the elder in your family, we
ensure you are able to address every need, as it develops. Services are
tailored to each family. 
Through our service offerings, ElderLife™ Management and SafetyNet Services, we provide Care Management that includes the often neglected "management" piece, while also taking
care of the details so that you don't have to worry about them.
Accountable Aging works with each family to provide
the services you need, as you need them. We integrate the elder's
financial, emotional and medical realities to develop a holistic care
strategy. That strategy includes the right combination of services to
meet your needs today, while guiding your family's planning for the
longer term. And we provide all families with a single point of contact
and control, regardless of the number or type of services required.

ABOUT
US
Accountable Aging is a single source for seniors and their families to attain knowledge,
resources and on-going assistance with the challenges related to aging
or caring for an elder loved one. We offer clients compassion, commitment,
and a highly personal understanding of the real concerns families must
address to ensure an elder family member's financial, residential, emotional
and physical well-being.
Today, we share this passion with a dedicated, multi-disciplinary Care
Team that helps us serve seniors in Austin, Dallas, San Antonio and the
surrounding areas. Together, we coordinate efforts with families wherever
they live -- whether down the road from their senior or across the country.
As the issues of aging are not limited to medical
concerns, neither is Accountable Aging. With a multidisciplinary approach to
eldercare management, our team is comprised of a specialist in eldercare
services and Social Security issues, a Harvard MBA, a Clinical Nurse Specialist
in gerontology, an RN with a background in medication management and home
health issues, a hospice chaplain, and several other caring, experienced
individuals.
One of your most important decisions will be identifying the services
that are better provided outside the family circle.
That is the time to call Accountable Aging.
