Geriatric Care Management Pays for Itself

Senior Care of Sacramento works to establish a solution, first and foremost, that keeps the senior in their own home. CEO Therese Johnson, a seasoned senior care advocate who runs Senior Care of Sacramento as an “aging-in-place” focused company, provides information, tools, and assistance needed for the aging to live the highest quality of life possible with dignity and respect.

We save you money by eliminating unnecessary services and duplicate costs incurred because of overlapping caregiver shifts or excess medical tests and exams.

As seniors live longer and providing and funding eldercare becomes more complex, more and more capital region families find Senior Care of Sacramento’s services, most of which are free, essential to managing the needs of their aging seniors. We’re neutral. If you need an unbiased voice in your dialogue with your parent, we provide it.

Senior Care of Sacramento assists seniors and their families with matters of housing, safety, health, and other issues of aging. This assistance can be especially valuable for the family member that takes on the responsibility of acting as the loved one’s care advocate and is caught in the “sandwich generation” – a term that refers to people who find themselves in the middle of working a job, having children of their own at home, and caring for an aging or ill parent all at the same time.

We uncover unused benefits. These include Medi-Cal eldercare benefits, VA benefits, huge but little known Medicare eldercare benefits for which most seniors are entitled if their finances are structured precisely and forms are filed correctly, and supplemental prescription and other “best fit” insurance coverage for your unique circumstances.

You can even take a vacation!

One option is to take the one for which you are caring with you on an overnight getaway close to your home or their home. But, if you prefer, Senior Care of Sacramento can arrange for temporary respite care with an in-home care service or a short stay at a senior care community so that you can take a much needed break. Refresh yourself for the “long haul”. Therese Johnson personally vets all in-home services and senior care communities for which we do respite care referrals.

We cover all levels of care. All documents and instructions are with us, so your parent’s treatment is consistent whether he/she lives at home, in an assisted living setting, board and care, or a nursing home. We know how to advocate for all levels of care.

We are your eyes and ears. Out-of-town family members no longer have to spend top dollar for emergency travel because of an unexpected hospitalization. We are here to advocate and keep you apprised of the situation.

We let you and your siblings be adult children to your parent. We handle the crises and solve the problems so you can be the loving sons and daughters you are.

We let you focus on your work, so you don’t have to worry about leaving the workforce to care for your parent. You won’t be absent or distracted as much.

We get the job done right the first time. Think of us as a real estate agent selling your house or a lawyer representing your interests. We are trained to provide care. You could do it yourself, but what if that results in costly and dangerous mistakes? What if you hire a private caregiver who falls in your kitchen and sues you? What if you don’t choose appropriate placement, then, have to move your parent again and again, causing transfer trauma? It’s better to put your money toward people who are experts in senior care management.

We are happy to do as much or as little as needed.
