Are you overwhelmed trying to help a loved one get all the care they need?

We’re here to help.

Are you caring for an aging or disabled loved one? Feeling overwhelmed or frustrated by the healthcare and insurance system? Unsure about the right financial and legal steps to take? Are you too far away to be there every day, or too busy with everything else in your life to give this the attention it needs? Or having trouble reaching consensus with other family members about what to do?

We know how you feel. Because Diversified Nurse Consultants was born of that same frustration.

Our founders, all nurses, each faced a similar situation with a parent or child, and found that there were too many decisions, too little information and too few resources to help. So we created the company we wish had been there for us — one that can help you in bringing all of those loose strands together and navigating the elder care / healthcare maze.

COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT OF AN INDIVIDUAL OR COUPLEAn Aging Life Care Specialist will complete a comprehensive assessment on the Care Recipient, focusing on medical, physical, environmental, safety, legal and financial and will make recommendations based on those findings. Couples rates may apply.

ASSESSMENT FOR PLACEMENTAn Aging Life Care Specialist will complete an assessment to determine the level of care for placement and then assist the family in finding facilities that can accommodate the level of care needed.

FACILITY OVERSIGHT AND ADVOCACYAn Aging Life Care Specialist can assist and oversee all aspects of the Care Recipient’s move and transition into a facility. An Aging Life Care Specialist can also continue ongoing care management services at any facility.

HOME SAFETY ASSESSMENTAn Aging Life Care Specialist will go to the home and perform a safety and environmental evaluation to reduce the risk of falls and identify any potential problem areas to help the Care Recipient maintain independence.

COMPREHENSIVE CARE MANAGEMENTA team headed by an Aging Life Care Specialist will provide ongoing care management services on an as-needed basis — letting you step away from daily caregiver duties and get back to your life and the rest of your family.

SAFETY NET PROGRAMAn Aging Life Care Specialist will perform an initial comprehensive assessment and then follow up with a phone call monthly, and one face to face visit per quarter to check on the Care Recipient and monitor for any changes. This gives the family peace of mind that they can call someone if a concern or crisis arises but currently the Care Recipient’s needs are not enough to require services at this time. The hourly rate will apply after 4 hours per quarter are used.

MEDICAL POWER OF ATTORNEYAn Aging Life Care Specialist will provide the paperwork, ensure it’s notarized appropriately, and act as the Care Recipient’s Medical Power of Attorney. The Care Recipient must be enrolled in the Safety Net Program.

SHORT TERM CARE MANAGEMENTAn Aging Life Care Specialist will monitor a Care Recipient for a short time. For example, this is beneficial if the family goes out of town and wants someone to check on their loved one, or needs transitional services for approximately 30 days following hospitalization.

PRE- AND POST- SURGERY / HOSPITALIZATION PROGRAMAn Aging Life Care Specialist will attend pre-operative and post-operative visits to help manage the process from the planning of the surgery through recovery. An Aging Life Care Specialist can also monitor the Care Recipient in the hospital, during transfer to another facility, and upon discharge, help transition back to the Care Recipient’s home and reduce the risk of re-hospitalization.

SERVICES WE CAN PROVIDEAll services are performed by or under the direction of an Aging Life Care Specialist who is a Registered Nurse (RN) with experience in the kinds of issues you and your loved one are facing.

One of the most difficult decisions a family can face is whether a loved one who has a medical condition or is taking medication is able to drive safely. Diversified Nurse Consultants offers the DriveABLE Cognitive Assessment Tool, which helps patients and their doctors understand whether and how their driving skills may have been compromised. When this assessment is performed in the physician’s office, it can be covered by Medicare. If you have concerns about your own or a loved one’s ability to drive safely, call our office today to schedule an appointment.
