Challenging the Paradigm of the Elder Care Industry

Barbara states that she wanted to develop a service advocating for the right of all seniors to receive excellent care, and to most importantly remain safe in the receiving of that care. Nice idea, but how can you do such a thing?

"We decided to ask the seniors that have used or are currently using a service how they felt about the service they receive. Who better to attest to the quality of a service than the senior receiving the care ... " states Ms. Mascio.

Question: Yes, but couldn't the consumer simply ask a healthcare professional for a recommendation? Or go to the yellow pages, pick up a print directory of services or use the Internet to search the choices?

"Of course, that's the way it's always been done. But does it make sense? How do you tell which of the multiple choices available to you is going to serve your loved one with the up most concern? Any business can pay for an ad or market effectively enough to get listed on a discharge planners' list", answers Ms. Mascio.

Question: What services do you provide that are so different from 'the way it's always been done...'

We are developing the industry's first One-Call-Solution. Soon, regardless of what type of service you need, (medical or non-medical) you'll have access to it through us.

Businesses that receive clients from Senior Approved Services do not pay referral fees, however these business cannot receive clients until they've been surveyed. We accept and Certify those with a 90% or higher 'senior satisfaction rating'.

We remain as a link between the senior receiving care and the business providing the care, yet seniors access our full service at no charge.

We take the heat off healthcare professionals tasked with making recommendations to their clients.

We offer a free work/life benefit program for employers to pass on to their employees.

We've created a method to help non-profit organizations generate additional funds.

Regardless of your level of involvement within the elder care industry, you will find service at www.seniorsapprove.com and at www.qualityeldercare.com

Elder Care Services  How to Protect Aging Adults from Scams
Our senior citizens deserve to enjoy their elder years peacefully and with dignity. A lifetime of hard work has earned them monetary savings and excellent credit ratings. This should serve them well, but actually leaves them as common targets for fraud and scams. In addition to their buying power, they are trusting, unlikely to report fraud, and sometimes have compromised memory due to their age. This furthers their likelihood of being manipulated by scams. Individuals, their family members, and elder care services companions should be aware of ways to protect aging adults from scams.

Choosing Elder Care Facilities
Many older people are very set in their ways and expect to have a say in choosing elder care facilities that will be used when they need medical care and those that will be used when they are no longer able to care for themselves. The elder care facilities could be covered under their social security benefits and other facilities will only be available if the elder has the insurance coverage to pay for it.

Elder Care Benefits and Social Security
Senior citizens receive a lot of elder care benefits and Social Security is just one of them. Social Security is one of the long term benefits that the elderly receive as well as Medicare. Receiving benefits usually starts at age 65 and continues until the death of the individual. Usually this is a long time approach, being paid out in years. This system is paid for by everyone that works. Each paycheck has a little money taken out of it and at the age of retirement, then the person will have money every month to live on.
