An Aging Life Care Professional is a health and human services specialist who acts as a guide and advocate for families who are caring for older relatives or disabled adults. We are trained in any of several fields related to long-term care, including nursing, gerontology, social work, or psychology, with a specialized focus on issues related to aging.

While we often collaborate with those professionals, our role is holistic and clinical.

• Home Health Aides provide direct, hands-on physical care.

• Senior Move Managers focus on the logistics of downsizing.

• Aging Life Care Professionals oversee the “big picture,” coordinating medical, legal, financial, and emotional needs to ensure a high quality of life.

Members of the Aging Life Care Association must meet stringent education, experience, and certification requirements. Most importantly, we are required to adhere to a strict Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice, ensuring that your loved one’s welfare is always the top priority.

The assessment is the foundation of our work. We conduct an in-depth review of the client’s:

• Physical and Mental Health

• Functional Ability (Can they perform daily tasks safely?)

• Home Safety

• Financial and Legal Status

• Social Support Systems

From this, we create a comprehensive Care Plan with specific recommendations.

The Evelyn McPherson Foundation has provided a grant that offers free Aging Life Care™ Management consultation to elderly and or disabled family members of active military members, veterans, or veteran’s elderly and or disabled family members (Family members are limited to a spouse, parent, or child).  For eligible military families, the McPherson fund will provide up to 4 hours of an Aging Life Care Professional’s expertise; providing recommendations and referrals for the most appropriate service that fits the specific needs of the Veteran of family member.  Contact us for more information or to schedule your free consultation.

We do not provide hands-on care like bathing or medication administration. Instead, we vet, hire, and monitor the agencies or individuals who do. We act as your “eyes and ears,” ensuring that the care being paid for is actually being delivered at the highest standard.

Absolutely. This is one of our most common scenarios. We serve as the local professional representative for “long-distance caregivers,” providing you with regular updates and immediate crisis intervention if something goes wrong.

Services are primarily billed hourly, so you pay only for the time spent supporting you or your loved one. Most clients begin with an initial assessment, which may be billed at a higher rate or as a separate flat fee due to its comprehensive nature.

All service options will be discussed during your free consultation, and you’ll receive a clear written agreement outlining expectations, rates and scope before services begin to ensure everything is clear and aligned with your needs.

This is a very common challenge. We are trained in techniques to build rapport and de-escalate resistance. Often, a senior is more willing to listen to a “neutral professional” than a family member. We focus on autonomy and safety, helping them see how support can actually help them remain independent longer.

The first step is a brief, complimentary Consultation. During this call, we’ll discuss your current situation, review our pricing structure, determine if our services are a good fit, and schedule a formal initial assessment.
