Senior Independent Living with Supportive Services Consultation

A Helping Hand Senior Care Services offers free consultation services for seniors and their loved ones as they explore senior housing options.

Service helps to sort through the options available, based upon care needs, type of community, location, cost, design, room size, activities, meals, etc. Kevin Parks is a Placement Specialist, as well as a licensed assisted living administrator.

Based on the results of a comprehensive, holistic assessment of the entire situation, a tour of two or three communities can be arranged. Staff will accompany the family and serve as their advocate as the choice of housing is made, as well as make sure the senior and family understand the community agreement and other important documents.

A Helping Hand assists to collect the medical paperwork required by the Department of Social Services (DSS), i.e. Physician Report (History & Physical including treatment plan for psychotropic medications), Tuberculosis screening form, Mental Health screening form (when indicated), Resident Personal and Social Information, assistance with completing the Uniformed Assessment Instrument (UAI) and Individualized Service Plan (ISP), as well as additional facility-specific documents.

Placements in senior independent living with support services are also available.
