Mir Senior Care Management and Care Consultant’s vision is to be the most trusted name in giving and receiving quality life care management services.

Our mission is to serve those individuals faced with the challenges and complexities of aging and special needs by delivering the highest quality of life care management services. We exist to support our clients by providing personalized planning, consultation, education, advocacy and resource navigation.

As Aging Life Care™ Managers, our top priority at Mir Senior Care Management, Inc. & Care Consultants is to help older adults live as independently as possible while still being safe and secure. We can tailor a personalized solution uniquely designed to meet your needs.

Our familiarity with local resources saves you time, and often money. Our compassionate understanding of the aging process saves you distress.

 

Are you concerned about safety?

Perhaps Mom recently fell and broke a hip. Maybe Dad is having trouble sticking to his doctor’s recommendations. Does your loved one seem to be isolated? Losing weight? Having difficulty with remembering important activities or events?

Your parents want to stay at home

Most older adults prefer the home setting they have lived in for years. You, however, may be worried that their living situation is not as safe as it needs to be. And your family member may require more assistance than you can realistically provide.

We’re here to help.

Working as a team

We at Mir Senior Care Management, Inc. & Care Consultants can assist your family. We can provide you and your loved one with the support needed to stay at home, and suggest alternatives, as needed, to make sure your parent is safe and comfortable.

We can tailor a personalized solution uniquely designed to meet your needs. Our familiarity with local resources saves you time, and often money. Our compassionate understanding of the aging process saves you distress.

Conducting an initial assessment
Over the course of 1-2 home visits, we can conduct an assessment. We identify the strengths of the current situation, and any areas of concern. We can also give you a general sense of how things are likely to evolve over the next 6 months. This way you can make decisions within the context of a longer term perspective.

Assisting with planning
Whether you have an immediate need for care, or want to understand what’s available as you think about the future, we help you make a plan. Personal preferences and family resources blend with our understanding of the local resources as we recommend options that will fit within your budget. You gain peace of mind knowing there is a realistic strategy for addressing the challenges of aging.

Communicates with your doctors
If you sometimes feel overwhelmed by the medical system, you are not alone! It can be daunting for anyone. We help you clarify questions, and make sure you get answers. We lobby with providers for the type of care you wish to receive. Because we understand the system, we can go to bat for you as knowledgeable, effective advocates.

Arranges for in-home care
It may be that living at home is no longer a safe option. Having someone come by twice a week to cook a few meals and do some light housekeeping may be all that is needed. Or, it could be that more support is required. The daily presence of a kind caregiver can assure that meals are eaten regularly and medications are taken as directed. You can choose part time or full time assistance. We can help you find a reputable service and manage the type of help needed.

Checks in periodically
It’s a relief to have knowledgeable people engaged. You have never been through this phase of elderhood before. We know the range of normal and can offer an invaluable perspective. You may have already experienced that things can change quickly in the aging process. By checking in periodically, we notice changes and alert you if we feel that more support or attention is needed.

 As elder care professionals, we know the problems that commonly arise, and the most cost-effective solutions. Perhaps there are some mobility issues that are making life more difficult than it needs to be. There may be a simple device that could remedy the situation. Maybe memory problems are starting to be an issue. There are services to help with paying the bills, or balancing the checkbook. Perhaps medications are not being taken as as directed by the doctor. Through periodic check-ins, you rest secure knowing that changes will be recognized and addressed promptly.

Suggests alternative living arrangements
If more assistance is needed, and it cannot be provided safely or affordably at home, we are happy to make suggestions tailored to your needs and finances. We understand the broad range of services available in the elder care continuum and can recommend the local facilities most likely to result in a good fit and positive transition.
