Help With Aging Parents in New Orleans

Expert support when your aging parents need more help than you can provide alone.

You’ve noticed the changes: missed medications, an unkempt home, or a growing sense of worry that your loved one needs more help than you can provide. These are common challenges for adult children caring for their aging parents.

At Care Consultants of GNO, we understand that this is a difficult transition, and we’re here to help you navigate it with confidence and peace of mind. We provide the expert guidance and compassionate support you need to ensure your parents are safe and well cared for.

When to Seek Help With Aging Parents

It can be difficult to tell when it’s time for outside help. Perhaps you’ve noticed that your aging parents are having trouble managing their daily living activities, such as bathing, dressing, and preparing meals. Maybe you’ve seen signs of memory issues, like forgetting to take medications or getting confused. These are often the first indicators that professional assistance is needed. When the caregiving role becomes too much to handle, it can lead to caregiver stress and burnout for family caregivers and other family members.

It’s completely normal to feel overwhelmed and to seek help for aging parents. You might find yourself facing questions like:

How can I ensure my parents’ safety at home?

How do I manage their medical appointments and medications?

What are the best long-term care planning options?

How can I get my siblings and other family members on board?

What resources are available for people with dementia or other medical conditions?

How do I talk to my parents about making changes?

What is the cost of senior living and assisted living?

These questions are precisely why Care Consultants exists. We provide compassionate support and expert advice to help you and your aging parents navigate these transitions smoothly.

Getting the Support You and Your Parents Need

A geriatric care manager, also known as an aging life care manager, is a professional who specializes in helping older adults and their family. Our role is to act as a central point of contact, coordinating all the care services and resources your loved ones need to live a healthy life. We are trained to recognize the signs of physical and mental health issues, and we know how to connect families with the right local programs and national programs.

For many family members, our help provides peace of mind. As your personal guide, we can help you understand all the options, from home care services to assisted living, and ensure your loved one receives quality care that promotes their well-being. A close friend or relative can also benefit from our services. We can help you navigate difficult conversations with your aging parents and other caregivers, ensuring everyone is on the same page.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How do I know if my aging parents need professional help?
    Look for signs like missed medications, safety concerns at home, frequent falls, confusion about appointments, social isolation, or family caregiver burnout. If you're worried about their well-being or feeling overwhelmed, it's time to seek professional guidance.
    What if our family lives far away?
    Long-distance caregiving is one of our specialties. We can be your eyes and ears on the ground, providing regular updates and managing all aspects of your parents' care. We can provide you with general information and helpful advice.
    What's the difference between a geriatric care manager and home care?
    Home care provides hands-on assistance with daily tasks, while geriatric care managers coordinate all aspects of care, advocate for your loved one, and manage the entire care team. We're the "quarterback" overseeing medical appointments, safety, and long-term planning.
    Can you help if my parents live in assisted living or memory care?
    Absolutely. We provide advocacy and oversight in all living situations, ensuring your loved one receives quality care, attending care plan meetings, and serving as your eyes and ears when you can't be there.
    Will you attend medical appointments with my parents?
    Yes, we regularly attend appointments to ensure important information isn't missed, advocate for your loved one, communicate with the medical team, and keep family members informed about health status and treatment plans.
    How quickly can you start helping our family?
    We can begin with a free consultation within 24-48 hours and start immediate services if there's a crisis. For ongoing care management, we typically begin within a week of your initial assessment.
    What if there's a medical emergency or crisis?
    We provide 24/7 crisis support, coordinating with hospitals, communicating with family members, and managing urgent decisions. You'll have a dedicated professional handling the situation while keeping everyone informed.
    My siblings and I disagree about our parents' care. How can you help?
    We facilitate family meetings, provide objective assessments, and help families align on care goals. As neutral professionals, we can present options and help resolve conflicts while keeping your parents' best interests at heart.
    Does Medicare cover the services of a geriatric care manager?
    Generally, Medicare does not cover geriatric care management services. However, some long-term care insurance policies may cover a portion of the cost. We can provide helpful advice and detailed information about how to pay for care. We are not a representative of any government agency, and we do not provide free health insurance counseling.
    Can you help us with financial or legal assistance?
    While we cannot provide legal assistance or act as a financial planner, we can refer you to trusted professionals who specialize in these areas. We can also help you understand some of the benefits and resources available, such as Social Security. However, we do not have information about specific benefits. Many national programs such as the Family Caregiver Alliance may be able to assist you with such questions.
