Care Coordination

Lately, we’ve been emphasizing the importance of selecting an elder law firm with a dedicated care coordination team and a life care planning practice. You might be wondering, “Is this really necessary?” “Don’t I just need the legal services the firm provides?”

When care needs are complicated

Many of our families face complex care situations. Their loved ones might need extra care, be hospitalized, or be in rehab. Our care coordinators assist client families in navigating the healthcare system, communicating with healthcare providers, and learning how to advocate for the best outcomes.

The role of the care coordinator at Hurley Elder Care Law

The role of a Hurley Elder Care Law care coordinator varies depending on the specific needs of each case. Often, Nicole, Kelsie, and Diamond (all social workers) work with families to explain public benefits and connect them with community resources. They coordinate care and facilitate transitions from a hospital setting to a rehab or skilled nursing facility. The paperwork and phone calls can be overwhelming for families. Having a trusted professional handle the “heavy lifting” during stressful times can improve relationships and overall quality of life. Our clients are amazed and grateful for the efforts of our care coordinators, who provide a friendly shoulder, an open ear, and hands-on support while working tirelessly to find the best options for our aging clients.

Collaboration is key

Our goal is to help clients find the least restrictive environment that offers the care they need and fits within their financial means. Our care coordinators collaborate closely with our elder law attorneys and public benefits team to deliver a smooth and beneficial experience for clients. This holistic approach is what makes our unique life care planning model successful for families.

Hurley Elder Care Law is dedicated to helping our clients achieve the best possible legal, financial, and care outcomes. We like to say we are “Certified, Compassionate, Competent, and Experienced.” Contact us today at 404-843-0121 to discuss your elder law questions and explore your situation.
