Care Coordination
From the first day of membership, you will be assigned a Care Coordinator, who will get to know you personally as well as your health goals and wishes. We strive to form long-lasting, personal, trusting relationships with each Member which allows us to provide the best care for our Members over time. Your care coordinator will advocate for, and support, you when needed and help you navigate the sometimes-tricky waters of the healthcare system. When care is needed, your care coordinator will meet and discuss your situation and oversee and implement a personal care plan that meets your needs to ensure your safety and well-being.
Home-Based Services
Your Senior Choice at Home benefits include home-based care and services. When you need help with one or more of your activities of daily living, whether for a short amount of time (i.e., during a brief illness or after a joint replacement procedure such as a knee or hip replacement) or on a permanent basis, your care will be scheduled, provided and covered by your Senior Choice at Home benefits.
Care at home will also be covered if a you are diagnosed with any type of dementia disorder (i.e., Alzheimer’s Disease), become bed bound or homebound, or need special equipment to ambulate (i.e., wheelchair, walker).
While you are living at home, care at an adult day program facility near your home is also covered.
Facility-Based Services
The goal of Senior Choice at Home is to help our Members remain at home, independently, for as long as possible. When you join our program, we know that is your goal as well. However, life and circumstances sometimes dictate that your home is not the safest and best place for you to live. Therefore, as a safety net, Assisted Living and Nursing Home services are also covered by their Senior Choice at Home benefits. Such facility-based services would be at our campus, The Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Campus at Park Avenue, however certain exceptions can be made if travel to our campus would be difficult for your family members living in the area.
