You work full-time and can\u2019t take them to their doctor\u2019s appointments, much less hunt for new housing and actively protect them from being scammed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Welcome to the club. Over 65 million people (29%) of the US population give care to chronically ill, disabled, or elderly family members\/friends.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You know you need help, but where do you start? \u200b\u200bIn the best of worlds, you use a holistic approach. A lot of estate planning attorneys do just that. In addition to advising about legal issues such as estate planning, fiduciary law, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/hammerle.com\/legaltalk\/adult-guardianship\/what-is-a-guardianship-in-texas\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">guardianship<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, they have in-house staff or can make referrals for social workers, care managers and gerontologists to problem-solve and coordinate care and resources.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Help Made Available To Family Caregivers<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What can social workers, care managers and gerontologists do for you? A lot, as it turns out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They can make a care plan for your parents. According to the CDC, a care plan \u201ccan summarize a person\u2019s health conditions, specific care needs, and current treatments. The care plan should outline what needs to be done to manage the care needs. It can help organize and prioritize caregiving activities\u201d. The CDC has a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/aging\/caregiving\/pdf\/complete-care-plan-form-508.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">care plan form<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on its website.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They can visit your parents\u2019 home, make recommendations on how to make it safer, and give you alternative housing options.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They can mediate between you and your parents over sticky issues like driving, money management, and down-sizing.\u00a0 They can also counsel between family members if disagreements arise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They can attend doctor visits, coordinate home health care, prepare a budget, help pay bills, find transportation, review day hab and senior centers, assist on benefits applications, and find caregiver support for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They can recommend a rehab facility when a parent breaks a hip, or an assisted living facility when your parent\u2019s physical or mental abilities decline.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They can monitor a parent\u2019s care while in a facility.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They can also let you know when guardianship may be necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Differences Between Social Workers, Care Managers, and Gerontologists<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just exactly who are these wonderful people? They are usually categorized by training.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A social worker must have a college degree. From there, it goes by experience and licensing. In Texas, social workers are licensed by the Texas State Board of Social Work Examiners.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A geriatric care manager is a social worker, nurse, gerontologist, or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/hammerle.com\/legaltalk\/estate-planning\/mental-health-resources-who-you-gonna-call\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mental health<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> professional who acts as a guide for families with specialized care needs<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A gerontologist is someone who has a degree in social gerontology. It concentrates on the relationship between the elderly and their caregivers, families, and extended society. Researchers in this subdiscipline try to understand how aging will affect social relationships and roles. They also work on developing policies and programs to improve the quality of life for older adults.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A select few go on to get a master\u2019s degree in gerontology. This group has gone deeply into the field of caring for the elderly. They can perform comprehensive assessments to manage the physical, social, and socioeconomic factors that affect the health and well-being of older adults.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s go back to the holistic approach. You should have your parents\u2019 accountant, attorney, financial advisor, and physician available when you need them. These are the experts when you have thorny issues.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For day-to-day problem solving, however, hire a social worker, care manager or gerontologist.
