A Partnership in Care
At Cheer Home Care, we equip families and the community with the knowledge and resources to enhance senior care quality. Recently, we welcomed Denise Ysais, General Manager at Visionary Care Consultants, to introduce their Safety Net Program, a proactive approach to care management that offers peace of mind to seniors and their loved ones. Denise shared about the program and treated our team to lunch from Luna Grill, a Mediterranean favorite in the office! The session reinforced the importance of bridging home care and care management services to serve our community better.
Who is Visionary Care Consultants?
Visionary Care Consultants has been a trusted advocate for seniors and their families, providing expert care management services that guide individuals through the complexities of aging. Their dedicated Geriatric Care Managers (GCMs) work closely with families to ensure every senior receives personalized support.
The Role of a Care Manager
A care manager navigates the healthcare system, helping families make informed decisions about long-term care, medical needs, and daily living support. They coordinate care plans, facilitate communication between healthcare providers, and advocate for seniors, ensuring their needs are met with dignity and respect.
Key Benefits of Care Management:
- Personalized assessments and care plans
- Coordination between doctors, caregivers, and family members
- Crisis intervention and emergency support
- Assistance with medical and financial planning
- Advocacy for seniors in hospital or care settings
The Safety Net Program: A New Approach to Senior Support
Recognizing a gap in care options, Visionary Care Consultants developed the Safety Net Program to assist seniors who may not require full-time care management but still want a structured plan for future emergencies.
What Makes the Safety Net Program Unique?
This innovative program is unlike other care management companies currently offering. It provides an annual membership model that ensures seniors and their families have a dedicated professional to turn to in times of need.
Key Components of the Safety Net Program:
- Annual Membership: Clients sign up for a year-long plan, which includes an initial assessment and ongoing support.
- Comprehensive Client Records: A complete profile is created, including medical history, key contacts, and care preferences.
- Quarterly Check-Ins: Regular in-person or virtual visits ensure any health or lifestyle changes are documented and addressed.
- Emergency Preparedness: The program ensures seniors have a reliable care plan should an emergency arise.
How the Safety Net Program Improves Home Care
The Safety Net Program provides extra security and preparedness for seniors receiving home care. If an emergency occurs, care managers can respond quickly, using the client’s complete medical history and care preferences to ensure quick and effective decision-making.
This program also helps home care providers by offering a structured framework for emergency response planning. By discussing the Safety Net Program with clients, caregivers can help identify gaps in their current care plans and introduce them to a proactive solution.
Why Families Should Consider the Safety Net Program?
One of the biggest takeaways from our session with Denise was how this program is an ideal entry point for families exploring care management services. Often, seniors resist the idea of full-time care management. However, the Safety Net Program allows them to start with a lighter commitment while securing necessary support for future needs.
Denise and her team have developed a compassionate and highly effective program to give seniors confidence in their future care. Their dedication to ensuring older adults can age with dignity and security is evident in every aspect of the Safety Net Program.
