Our Philosophy
Every individual deserves happiness and respect in the most independent environment possible.
Our top priority at Life Care Solutions is to advocate for our clients' needs and preferences. We tailor a personalized care management plan uniquely designed to meet you or your family's needs. Our Care Managers' familiarity with local resources saves you time, energy and often money. And our compassionate understanding of the aging process provides your loved one with the ability to finish their life story with dignity and respect.
Our experienced care management staff is quite accustomed to working with seniors who are initially resistant to our services. With observant eyes and a gentle heart, we listen and make it clear that our goal is to help your loved one retain as much control and independence as possible.
Seniors quickly realize that we are their advocates. We are their ally, not a threat.

What is Care Management?
The typical touch points for a Care Manager
A Care Manager is a guide, advocate, and resource for individuals and families. A Care Manager may be trained in the fields of nursing, social work, gerontology, psychology, and other health professions with a specialized focus on these issues.
The Care Manager proactively links every constituent of a client's care. These constituents include a client’s Family and Friends, Primary Physician, Fiduciary Entities, Attorney, Community Resources, Facilities, Pharmacy, Home Care Agencies and Private Care Givers, Hospice, Home Health, Other Medical Entities, and any other aspect of the client’s care.
Care Managers are different from a home care agency in that they manage more facets of an individual's life and they do not provide direct care giving services. Care Managers will sometimes serve as a companion or assist with Activities of Daily Living if a client wishes. Typically though a Care Manager is responsible for ensuring a home care agency is performing these tasks according to the care plan.
