Thank you Sherri – I will check out naborforce. She is in the Panhandle of FL -hopefully the program will expand to FL based on our high number of Seniors. I did contact our Council on Aging but they said their companionship services require the inability of the individual to perform at least 2 ADL’s.

Thank you Tammy. I’ll look into the additional cost for commercial auto insurance. I guess that would be a tax write off as well.

Tammy Porter replied to the topic Transporting Clients in the forum General Conversation 2 weeks ago
Hi Maria –
Yes, I transport my clients who can safely get in/out of my vehicle with little help; i.e. a walker. I choose not to transport clients that use wheelchairs and would require more ‘hands-on’ assistance. I am commercially insured with my auto insurance to provide this service. I have not had them sign a release of liability.
Hope…[Read more]

Great job, Jackie! You hit all the points!
My only suggestions to you are, maybe use older adult instead of senior and you could tweak the sentence about not having a family member near by. It can also include family who may live near by but just can’t be available due to work and/or family obligations, that expands the relatable opportunities for…[Read more] -

This is a great story about your why, and likely many people will be able to relate to it! To maximize the “formula” that Trisha suggests to expand on this further, how does this sound?
I have started a Health Advocacy practice after my husband was misdiagnosed and spent several years in pain. As a physician, I am able to help patients who may…[Read more]

Sherri Miller replied to the topic Solo ager patient needing home upkeep help in the forum General Conversation 2 weeks ago
Maria,
Two thoughts:
1. Have you checked with her local area agency on aging for any services they might be able to provide? The agency in my area has many more programs/services than I originally realized.2. Not sure where your client is located but just in case, there is a business, naborforce, that is rapidly expanding that provides “A…[Read more]

As an advocate, do you transport your patients to medical appointments if they do not have transportation and if so, do you have them sign a release of liability or anything? Thank you.

I have a 68 year old patient who is a solo ager and still working full-time. She makes enough to cover her mortgage and living expenses. She’s on Medicare but does not qualify for Medicaid. She has been out of work for almost two months and exhausted all of her PTO and sick leave. The healthcare team has finally found the problem and she is…[Read more]

I own A Peace of Mind advocacy. We provide services to assist and support in navigating the health care system to seniors who may not have a family member nearby. Unlike a hospital advocate, we are able to ensure patients have the information and resources needed to make your own decisions for the care you or a loved one needs.

I have started a Health Advocate practice. My husband was misdiagnosed and spent several years in pain. As a doctor I have seen patients in similar situations so I wanted to help patients understand test results and access additional health options.

Carolyn Trend replied to the topic Anyone familiar with Helpvet.net? in the forum General Conversation 3 weeks ago
I received a call from him, and made the mistake of politely listening to an hour-long sales pitch, waiting for him to get to the point. Similar to your experience, Sherri, he became borderline hostile when I didn’t immediately jump at the chance to give him money to be included in his supposedly very exclusive referral list; I would be “the onl…[Read more]
