The Registered Nurse Case Manager difference, and what it means for your parent.

Below you’ll find just some of the ways our Registered Nurse Case Managers will be of assistance to your parent

• No charge assessment by a Registered Nurse Case Manager– a Registered Nurse from Eldercare Home Health will meet with your parent at their home, at the hospital, retirement home, or long term care facility. The assessment provides an opportunity for us make sure that we thoroughly understand what is going on, and what their care needs are so that we can develop a care plan. It’s also an opportunity for your parent, and for you and anyone else involved in their care, to ask questions. The assessment is provided free of charge and is always conducted by a Registered Nurse or Registered Practical Nurse. Find out more about the no charge assessment by a Registered Nurse.

• Case Management by a Registered Nurse – this is the key difference in how we provide care. When you hire Eldercare Home Health a Registered Nurse will be assigned to your parent’s care. The RN Case Manager will be actively involved in all aspects of care – on an ongoing basis, from selecting and supervising appropriate caregivers, to meetings with the healthcare team, liaising with the pharmacist, doctors and more (see below).

• Hospital discharge – making the transition back home can be much more involved than you may anticipate. Because a Registered Nurse will be overseeing your parent’s discharge, we can help make sure things go as smoothly as possible.

• Care for clients with Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, Dementia and other diseases – our Nurses have the knowledge and experience to help manage the care of clients with debilitating diseases. The Nurses are particularly good at helping to get things back on track for clients whose care has gone “off the rails” before coming to us.

• Meetings with the healthcare team – healthcare professionals can sometimes forget that you and your family may not understand terms, processes and options. We’re here to represent your interests and to help make sure you have an opportunity to make informed decisions.

• Advocacy – as much as we’d all like to live in a perfect world, sometimes you need someone to go to bat for your family member – that’s us, and we will.

• Family meetings – we know how difficult it can be at times, to get everyone on the “same page”. The Registered Nurse Case Manager can facilitate family meetings to help bring everyone on board.

We want to make things as straightforward for you and your parent as possible. That’s why we charge only for the time the Personal Support Worker (PSW) caregivers are providing care, there are no additional charges for any of our other care services. And, while you may think that a service like ours would cost more, it doesn’t.
