WHO CAN YOU TURN TO FOR HELP?

The "golden years" are aptly named for many people, the season in life when freedom, resources, and the wisdom of experience come together. Aging can also have a painful side, the signs of which you may be seeing in someone you love. They can be as fleeting as a trembling hand, as heart-rending as a vacant stare, as upsetting as incontinence, or as debilitating as dementia.

Regardless of the symptoms or their cause, one thing is sure. Watching someone you love decline because of aging isn't easy, especially when quality of life is diminished.

Rest assured, you're not alone. More Americans than ever before are living decades after retirement. This, coupled with changes in the health care system, means that seniors are less likely to have strong connections to primary health providers. They're also less likely to have local family members to turn to for support, all of which poses critical questions.

Who can you turn to for help - or even know when to seek it? You can turn to us. The MDM Care Management is a leading private sector care management organization in Illinois. Because MDM Care Management is not affiliated with other providers, does not provide any services other than consultation and advocacy, and does not receive any compensation for referrals to providers. Clients are therefore assured that their MDM Care Consultant is acting strictly in their best interest.

AT MDM - ONLY ADVANCE DEGREED REGISTERED NURSES PROVIDE CARE MANAGEMENT

At MDM all care management is done by registered nurses who are at the top of their profession. All have expertise in gerontology, as well as special skills in assessment, care planning, and knowledge of community resources.

Each helps only a small number of clients, which fosters a genuinely deep and therapeutic relationship that is wholly dedicated to meeting client needs. A client's personal dignity and self-esteem are foremost, especially when decisions and choices are considered.

And, since MDM Care Consultants make recommendations, not decisions, they work cooperatively with health care providers and you to develop and implement an appropriate plan of care.

MDM CARE CONSULTANTS REMAIN INVOLVED FOR AS LONG AS NECESSARY 

Care management can be a one-time fix of immediate needs. It can also be an ongoing relationship that ensures a client receives the specific care necessary to optimize quality of life, even if he or she is in a nursing home.

For example, MDM Care Consultants advocate for clients at medical appointments and assure correct administration of medications, critical if more than one physician is writing prescriptions. They assess and equip living environments for safety. If help is needed with daily activities from grooming to shopping, they find appropriate services. Social needs, such as transportation, companionship and spirituality, are addressed. In other words, MDM Care Consultants do what no single service does. No problem is too small or too large for them to resolve.

WE INCLUDE YOU EVERY STEP OF THE WAY 

We know how difficult it can be to have a stranger step in and care for someone you love. So our care mangers ensure that you're integrally involved to the degree you'd like. They'll discuss concerns you may have, whether it's finding an adult day health program or the best residential facility - and work through all the medical, social, psychological, and practical issues that are involved.

AN INFORMATIONAL VISIT IS PROVIDED FREE OF CHARGE 

The extent to which an MDM Care Consultant can enhance quality of life is directly related to how early intervention is sought. Left unattended, small problems have an uncanny way of becoming bigger. Earlier intervention is also highly cost-effective, especially when handled by a knowledgeable MDM Care Consultant, thereby minimizing undue expense.

So if you think that seemingly minor behavioral or physical changes are merely the "normal" aging process, you may want verification through an assessment from an MDM Care Consultant.

We'll arrange a free, informational visit at a place convenient for you to introduce you and your senior to our services and answer your questions. If an MDM Care Consultant is retained, we'll move together to the next step to maximize their quality of life.

THE RESULTS ARE POSITIVELY LIFE-GIVING 

Few of us would try to deal with a legal or medical situation on our own - we would call in experts. MDM Care Consultant is an expert both on aging and getting things done, and can provide unparalleled support of the highest integrity for your senior and you. Our interventions frequently extend clients' lives, and nearly always improve the quality of their lives.

In essence, MDM Care Management can make the difference of a lifetime. Put us to work for you today by calling 773-281-7616.

"One of the advantages was that my mother accepted a recommendation or change when it was initiated by our care manager rather than by me. It helped preserve family integrity and my mother's self-esteem...even though we're becoming parents to our own parents; they still look on us as children."
