Main Line Elder Care Associates is costs effective, our professionals incorporate the “Community Life Care Planning” concept which utilizes:

A. Community senior centers and services

B. Primary physicians and specialists

C. Adult day care centers

D. Informal family caregivers, etc

This method of care provides the “aging population” and their children with a much more holistic approach which serves to reduce the expense for private care.

Contact MLECA today at www.info@mainlineeldercare.com to arrange for an assessment and a plan of care that  benefits you and your family. 

Main Line Elder Care Associates provide a one-time consultation or ongoing care management.

RN Care Managers work with older people and their families to promote independence and provide a safe and supportive living environment.

MLECA Associates provide an invaluable source of support and assistance in times of crisis or day-to-day living.

Assessments

Geriatric Care Managers meet with elders, their families and other concerned parties to assess the safety, care needs and emotional well-being of the elder.

MLECA employs a state-of-the-art program that was specifically designed to enhance quality of life.

Based on that state-of-art assessment, a comprehensive Plan of Care is developed: 

Research appropriate housing

Recommend homecare services

Identify relevant community resources

Assess mental health needs

MLECA ongoing care management begins once the Plan of Care has been implemented.

Our RN Care Managers find, interview and manage home care services.

MLECA placement services follow through on housing applications to moving. Our Associates help with the move and make connections for you to enjoy community resources. MLECA accompanies the elder to medical appointments and report back to family members or concerned parties regarding their well-being. The assessments include geriatric psychiatry evaluations, in-home safety evaluations, education and counseling.

MLECA monitors the ongoing appropriateness of the care plan but never charges you for another assessment. Our Care Managers employ specialized care management for Parkinson’s disease, alzheimer’s disease and related dementia.

Our care managers are available for additional programming for caregivers, including in-service trainings, support groups, lectures and consultations to assisted living facilities, rehabs and nursing home and dementia units. 

MLECA works with Employee Assistance Programs to help bridge the employment gap and relieve some of the stress from employee-caregivers.

MLECA assists Wealth Management teams with their fudiciary duties when working with the elderly since aging brings a change of pace and many “new challengs.” We understands that good care and loving support makes all the difference.

MLECA navigates corporations and individuals thru this journey.
