Joyce M. Konczyk, LSW, Geriatric Care Manager
www.jmkseniorconsults.com
Working with seniors and their families in an acute care setting for many years gave me a deep understanding and compassion for the painful changes that aging brings to a family. Facing these complex challenges takes straightforward talk, courage and love.
I AM A RESOURCE SPECIALIST and ADVOCATE FOR YOU & YOUR LOVED ONES. I've been working with seniors & their families for over 25 years.
WHEN TO CALL A PROFESSIONAL INDEPENDENT GERIATRIC CARE MANAGER:
• When you are overwhelmed with the options or don’t know where to start researching options.
• When you are out of town and unable to attend to the needs of your loved one.
• When there is a crisis and you need help right away to facilitate change.
• When family is conflicted about the direction to take for a loved one’s care.
• When an objective opinion is needed to assess a living situation.
• When you want a professional to attend a care conference with you or for you.
• When you are having difficulty communicating with family members or with the professionals caring for your loved one.
• When you are not satisfied with the care your loved one is receiving.
HERE'S HOW I CAN HELP:
*Meet with you and your loved ones at a time and place that is convenient for you
*Facilitate conversation about concerns for the future
*Provide education about local senior resources
*Outline resources for current or future use
*Problem-solve troublesome situations
*Provide ongoing consultation, care management and support
*Encourage communication among family members
*Give you my undivided attention
