Attention to the Details of Board & Care
Board and care options will have some considerations we take into account, such as the board and care reputation, finances, the team’s training and longevity, and the services they offer. Most of these communities charge for care separately, and the higher cost of care is something to take into consideration as you or your loved one decline and need additional services. Yearly rent increases are another factor with board and care homes. You want to make sure the board and care you choose can take care of you or a loved one through their end of life so that you don’t have to move in the future if the community cannot care for you.
Our specialist will perform a comprehensive assessment to identify which setting fits our clients best. This assessment includes a geriatric depression evaluation, activities of daily living (ADLs), self-medication assessment, fall risk evaluation, mini mental state examination (MMSE), and pain and skin assessments as needed. It’s important to have an independent assessment before you place an older adult in a board and care home for many reasons, including the following:
- Clients can obtain an unbiased assessment.
- You get a baseline to work from.
- Independent assessments can be compared to the assessment performed by the community to ensure they’re providing and charging you for the correct services.
