Caregiver Reality Check

Every Caregiving situation is unique.  There is no one-size-fits-all solution, which means it is important to seek guidance that can be customized to your family's needs.

Before your family makes an emotional or crisis-based decision to change your loved one's living situation, call CareTreks for a Caregiver Reality Check.  Whether you are concerned about their ability to live safely independently, are considering caregiving in your home, or a move to or from a community-based care setting, it is best for everyone involved to take the time to step back and consider all of the implications.

Initial Consultation – A free 15-minute call to determine if CareTreks’ services are a fit.

Intake Call – This 30-45 minute call is with your family’s designated “point person”.  We will go over some general health questions (physical & cognitive), options being considered by your family, and basic financial overview.  We will also prioritize the topics to be covered during the family Zoom.

Family Zoom – This 90-minute Zoom conversation with up to 8 decision-making family members takes an objective look at options for your loved one's continued care.  The purpose is not to encourage or discourage a particular plan, but to look at all aspects of care, family impact, financial concerns, health complications and more in order to set your family and your loved one up for success.

Summary Email - A recap of our conversation, recommendations, links, and referrals will be sent to those participating in the Family Zoom within 2 business days.

The $600 flat-fee for this package will be invoiced after the Initial Consultation to be paid before the Intake Call.

Call or email today to schedule your family's Caregiver Reality Check.

Business-to-Business Caregiver Support

As a business owner who works with seniors or their adult children, you are undoubtedly aware of the stress Caregiving has on their daily lives. 

While your profession serves this population, perhaps you don't have the Caregiving or senior services connections within your network, or the time to seek them out, that would allow you to provide appropriate referrals to your clients in a knowledgeable way.

Partnering with CareTreks equips you with the ability to provide an exceptional add-on service for your valued clients.

Whether you choose to request that a CareTreks Guide research solutions for your clients for you to present or you prefer to provide your clients with a Guide to engage with them directly, they will appreciate your efforts to assist them on their Caregiving Journey.

Work-Based Caregiver Support

Increase workplace productivity by decreasing the personal stress your employees are experiencing.  Provide them with the expert advice and support they need to navigate their Caregiving Journey.

Caregiving for aging loved ones is having a dramatic impact on our workforce, whether those employees are providing local or long-distance support.

Surprisingly, employers are, for the most part, either ignoring this impact on employee productivity out of the belief that it isn't significant or they are unaware of the reality of their employees' lives.

Employers who are truly invested in attracting and retaining the best employees will need to not only acknowledge this ever-expanding stressor on all levels of their organization, but actively seek solutions to support their employees before they leave - for home or a more supportive working environment.

CareTreks Corporate Support provides a CareTreks Guide as an employer-sponsored benefit.  Annual plans are customized to each organization.

Resources and Referrals

Going it alone is not a good idea.  There may be resources nearby that you don't even know about...or maybe there are so many that you don't even know where to start.  Do you know the lingo?  Home care vs home health, palliative vs hospice, Medicare vs Medicaid.  Let's look into building a support team for your Caregiving Journey.

Personal Care

Having the desire to help doesn't always mean the skills to do so safely are inherently known.  Assisting a loved one with personal care can be tricky, both physically and emotionally.
