Our Process

How ElderPath Works

A clear, compassionate step-by-step process to guide you through care transitions and find the right support for your loved one

Our Step-by-Step Process

We make the care transition process simple and stress-free with personalized guidance every step of the way

1

Initial Contact & Consultation

Reach out to ElderPath via phone, email, or our online contact form. We'll schedule a free consultation to understand your situation, needs, and concerns. This is a no-pressure conversation where we listen and learn about your loved one.

What to expect: A compassionate conversation (30-60 minutes) where we discuss current challenges, care needs, budget considerations, and preferred locations.

2

Comprehensive Assessment

We conduct a thorough assessment of your loved one's physical, cognitive, social, and emotional needs. We also review medical history, current medications, and any special requirements like memory care or skilled nursing.

What we evaluate: Activities of daily living (ADLs), mobility, memory/cognition, medical needs, social preferences, and financial resources including insurance and Medi-Cal eligibility.

3

Personalized Care Plan & Options

Based on our assessment, we develop a personalized care plan and present suitable options. This might include assisted living, memory care, board & care homes, or skilled nursing facilities that match your loved one's needs and preferences.

Our recommendations include: Detailed information about each facility, costs, availability, services offered, and how well they align with your specific needs.

4

Facility Tours & Selection

We coordinate and accompany you on tours of recommended facilities. We help you ask the right questions, observe key details, and compare options. You'll never feel rushed or pressured—we're there to support your decision-making.

Tour support includes: Pre-tour preparation, on-site guidance, post-tour debriefing, and comparison of options to help you make an informed choice.

5

Transition Coordination & Support

Once you've selected a facility, we coordinate all aspects of the move. This includes paperwork assistance, move-in scheduling, medical record transfers, and ensuring a smooth transition. We remain available to address any concerns during the adjustment period.

Transition support includes: Admission coordination, communication with healthcare providers, move-in assistance, and follow-up to ensure satisfaction and proper care delivery.

6

Ongoing Follow-Up & Advocacy

Our relationship doesn't end at move-in. We follow up to ensure your loved one is settling in well and receiving appropriate care. If issues arise or needs change, we're here to advocate and help coordinate any necessary adjustments.

Continued support: Regular check-ins, advocacy if concerns arise, assistance with care plan adjustments, and support through any future transitions.
