Care Coordination Services in Southeastern PA and Delaware 

While the Future Is Uncertain, Yours Doesn’t Have to Be

There are realities to aging — and for many, that means a decline in health, either temporarily or over time. But, when the unexpected happens, you’ve already got a time-tested support system in place as a Friends Life Care member.

As your trusted partner, your dedicated professional Care Coordinator will guide you through the process of planning for long-term care, from performing an in-home safety assessment and evaluating your current health and well-being to understanding your lifestyle preferences and future goals. Once a need for care arises, your Care Coordinator will support and advocate for you throughout the process of dealing with the healthcare system. Our care coordination services in Southeastern PA and Delaware will partner with you and your loved ones through the challenges of a health crisis.

Your Personal Wellness Coordinator

On day one of your membership, a Care Coordinator will be assigned as your personal healthcare advocate, providing assessments, advice, workshops, and other preventative and wellness offerings tailored to you. They work to anticipate your needs and resolve your issues — and not just during a health crisis. We are there before you need care.

Our care coordination services are designed to help you navigate the complexities of the healthcare system and reach your health goals. Interested in aging at home? We can help you make a plan for future home modifications. Wondering how you will pay for care in the future? Our Plan Counselors will help you understand how Friends Life Care membership can help you pay for long-term care needs or complement an existing long-term care insurance plan. Looking for ways to maintain your health? Our senior Care Coordinators can help you devise wellness plans that target your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. If you need support while caring for your health, our senior Care Coordinators are there to lend a helping hand.

Your Wellness Is a Priority

You’ll learn more about the award-winning VigR® program and its focus on wellness and prevention. VigR® stands for vitality, independence, growth, and resilience and is an essential philosophy that Friends Life Care has developed with you and your needs in mind. Ask your elder Care Coordinator about workshops, webinars, or other interesting and wellness-based activities you may enjoy attending in your local area.

We Take Care of Your In-Home Care Needs

When and if you need in-home care for any length of time, your Care Coordinator’s role shifts from wellness and prevention to a focus on arranging, scheduling, and overseeing care through our network of providers. As part of our care coordination services, we will:

• Design and oversee a personal care plan.
• Assess potential health risks and conditions going forward.
• Arrange and supervise your required care as it evolves.
• Schedule in-home care services as needed.
• Keep track of your medical conditions, advance directives, and other important information.
• Coordinate outside healthcare services.
• Help navigate through the complex healthcare system, as appropriate.
• Evaluate and recommend home safety measures.
• Serve as liaison with family members, so they are not burdened with filling the difficult caregiver role.

You Will Have Access to Experienced, Credentialed Caregivers

If a need for care arises, you can trust our carefully trained and supervised caregivers to provide the support you need on a temporary or long-term basis. Your elder Care Coordinator will connect with providers in our established network, ensuring you receive care from a professional who understands your health goals and connects with you on a personal level.

It Relieves the Pressure Placed on Your Family

Do you wish to age peacefully at home? If so, have you considered who will be providing your care? Many people rely on their family members to act as caregivers and manage the household responsibilities, bill paying, follow-up appointments, and grocery shopping. However, this can put a great deal of stress on their shoulders. When you partner with a Wellness Coordinator, you don’t have to worry about putting undue pressure on your loved ones when your health begins to decline. If the need arises, your Care Coordinator can offer guidance, from finding you a professional caregiver (if needed) to assisting with arranging transportation for your doctor’s appointments. The Care Coordinator is a resource to you and your family to find the best balance for your care and recovery needs while maintaining your relationship with your loved ones.
