We keep up to date Magic Boxes of potential referrals for our clients. These are names of individuals and small business that can be very helpful to family members dealing with an aging parent or parents for various services.
We have grouped these providers under the following broad categories below, Care Providers, Home Assistance, Specialized Legal Services [areas outside the subjects covered on this website], Insurance Needs, Financial Services and Medical Care.
We do NOT share in any of the fees these providers may charge you. This is done merely as a service to our clients. We do ask for your feedback so we can keep track of the quality of services provided.
Below is a listing of the kinds of services for which we have reliable providers:
Care Providers
- Home health care agencies
- Geriatric case managers
- Adult day care programs
- Long term care facilities
- Assisted living facilities
- Independent living facilities
- Continuing care communities
- Hospice
We discourage the use of individual hired caregivers due to recurring issues of: theft; lack of bonding to cover missing articles; lack of worker's compensation to cover injuries if the worker should fall in your home; withholding and Social Security tax issues; sequestering of the elderly person from the family; and alienation of family members. Payments made to "cash" create severe Medicaid eligibility issues once a Nursing Home is needed. Paying someone "off the books" is also illegal.
