HELP TO HEAL THE PIECES
Senior care management services advocate and offer care within the comfort of your home
AN ACQUAINTANCE CALLED ME IN A PANIC. She had not heard from her friend Carol in a while and was concerned. Carol was in her early 80s, in good health, very sociable and active. After a welfare check was requested, the police visited to assess the situation.
It could have been worse, but it wasn’t good. Carol was on her bathroom floor, extremely sick. She had a raging infection, was septic and almost in kidney failure. Her muscles had atrophied, and her cognition was severely limited.
My friend said, “Sabrina, I need you to take care of Carol! She cannot go to the hospital alone, confused and with no advocate.”
I collected all of Carol’s medications and doctor information — the first step in
making sure everyone was on the same page. Carol was admitted to a hospital room. At the end of her 15-day stay, I served as her advocate to get Carol discharged from the hospital, avoid skilled nursing and rehab facilities and allowed her to recover in the comfort of her home by providing a full medical team. Physical and occupational therapy, housekeeping and home care with medication monitoring were arranged under the watchful eye of Rabhan Care Management’s registered nurse.
I accompanied Carol to all doctor appointments and attorney consultations. Carol needed some TLC and time, but was on her way back to good health.
In the six months that had passed, however, Carol’s taxes still needed doing, her home still needed attention, her bills
still needed paying and doctors still needed apprising of her situation. And in the midst of it all, her primary-care physician had retired!
But Carol had Rabhan Care Management with tiered levels of care and a registered nurse, licensed clinical social worker and an anti-exploitation specialist on staff to take care of everything.
Carol’s taxes were done on time, a new doctor was chosen and updated on her needs and history, her home is spotless, and all bills have been paid on time.
The best part? Carol gets to enjoy the highest quality of life in the comfort of her home thanks to the professional practices and continuous monitored care of Rabhan Care Management.
