Your Family Matters Now Offers Companionship Services for Seniors in St. Louis
Online, October 8, 2010 (Newswire.com) - ST. LOUIS, MO -- Families unable to visit their loved ones at home, in a nursing home or assisted living facility now have a new alternative to ensure their senior receives the attention and care they deserve.
Your Family Matters, LLC provides companionship, complete case management and advocacy for seniors in the St. Louis area. The firm has some 50 years combined experience with nearly all facets of the senior living experience, from independent (home health) to assisted living to skilled nursing.
The service is designed for families who have loved ones in a St. Louis area senior facility but live too far away to visit them on a regular basis. It is targeted for families whose job and/or lifestyle prevents them from looking after their relatives or simply do not have the expertise to work with nurses, aides and facility staff on such items as care planning, nutrition and exercise.
Fees start at just $130 per month.
"We have cared for many seniors over the years and find a number are very lonely. Others have early signs of dementia and are left to fend for themselves. Your Family Matters can fill that gap by coming in a few hours per month, per week or more as the situation dictates," said Shelly Solomon, President. "We are true advocates and speak up on behalf of our clients. These visits by an experienced professional are the best way to ensure the family member receives the best attention and care as humanly possible."
Solomon said Your Family Matters can also assist families with the entire transition from home or hospital to assisted living or a nursing facility. "Home? Assisted living? Nursing Home? Choosing the best alternative for your loved one is not an easy decision. There are matters of money, facility selection, Medicare/Medicaid, and a maze of paperwork. Often times the loved one is 'going downhill' and is unable to assist. Our staff can help you seamlessly through this process."
