Even eagerly awaited transitions can be difficult and transitions that are filled with the unknown can be tougher. As you care for your elderly loved one, you may wonder if what you’re doing today to ensure that she has a fulfilling and abundant life will work in the years to come.
It’s not only what your loved one might need in the future, but also what you’ll be able to provide. Because the future is unknown, you might consider making an appointment with a transitional services agency to see if enlisting the help of a team of professionals who understand all the needs your loved one has now and may develop in the future. A transitional service team can provide you with peace of mind and relief from the stress that an unknown future will bring.
How will a transitional services provider help you and your loved one? Here are just three ways that their knowledge and support can help you when you need it.
- They know what many of the “what ifs” look like. You may not know if your loved one will need memory care or if her diabetes will develop into a more serious health complication. And while a transitional care provider isn’t a fortune teller and cannot predict the exact future, they have a broader view of the what ifs due to years of experience. While you might be struggling to just figure out how to get through the week, they can help you determine how to get through the decades.
- They keep communication clear. Transitional services helps you not only understand all of the medical and other jargon that you have to learn when caring for an elderly loved one, they can also help you share that knowledge with the next level of care. Oftentimes, when transitions in care happen without a transition care team, medical and personal information get lost along the way. This can create an environment that is more stressful for your loved one and even put her in medical danger.
- They know the services available. If you are caring for your loved one for the first time, there are probably a ton of things you’ve learned since you started caring for them. There are medical terms, treatment options, and social service programs that you’ve learned about that you never knew existed. As your loved one’s care needs change, there will be even more on the horizon and that can get overwhelming. You may google “memory care” and see dozens of information sites on your screen, not knowing which are accurate and which aren’t. A transitional services team will help you navigate all of that information, with clear and succinct answers that’ll bring you peace of mind knowing you’re choosing the best care for your loved one.
The number one benefit is that when your loved one needs to transition to a different level of care, your transitional services provider will guide you and your loved one through each change with the best interests of your loved one and you in mind.
