My business consists of myself, Judy Kimmerer. I have provided help to many people over the last 8 years and have excellent recommendations ready to offer you. My goal is to help individuals manage quality of life issues when aging and illness undermine their independence and wellbeing. I also partner with families, to help them care for their aging or disabled family members. Various levels of service are available, allowing flexibility yet continuity with one professional. Clients may be living at home, in facilities, or needing to relocate.
Care management services are beneficial for families wanting on-going professional guidance, families with time limitations, families out of the area, or older adults without family support. Once needs are identified, care management services assist with implementing the recommended plan for care. Care management services can also include monitoring the older adult on a regular basis to make sure that needs are met through the aging process. The care manager can also coordinate care with other providers and family members. These services can save families valuable time and money.
