Aging Life Care Advocacy in DC, Maryland, and Virginia
A dedicated team that knows what you’re going through
Whether you’re arranging care for a parent or want an advocate for yourself, you have one place to turn. Our team goes to the appointments, coordinates your care, and follows through on what everyone else drops.
Does this sound familiar?
You’re managing an emergency from your desk, or from another state.
The doctor said a great many words, and now your mother is looking at you to explain what happens next
There are no siblings to share this with, and you already have a full-time job.
You’re the only one keeping track, and no one is checking on you.
Let us help take the burden off of you.
Stop blaming yourself for not having all of the answers. It’s a broken system, and no one should navigate it alone. We lived it ourselves, for years, without help. We learned it the hard way, so you don’t have to.
Not in crisis yet? Even if you think your needs may be premature, it is never too early to plan. We work just as often with those who want an experienced advocate in place before something goes wrong. We work in Bethesda, Rockville, Potomac, Chevy Chase, and throughout the DC area.
About Us
What Does an Aging Life Care Advisor Do?
Medical Appointment Advocacy: In the Room, and After It
We go to the appointments, keep your parent calm so the doctor gets an honest picture, and tell you plainly what was said. We don’t give medical advice. We make sure the medical care is understood, delivered, and followed appropriately.
Care Coordination: Follow-Through Nobody Else Does
Often the hardest part of managing care is not scheduling the original appointment but tracking all the follow up and communicating various needs through multiple channels and providers. How many therapy sessions were ordered, how many are on the schedule, , how many more Medicare will cover. Who never called back. The bill no one can explain. We hold people to what they promised, and again next week.
Estate, Financial & Legal: A Second Set of Eyes
We sit in the room for meetings with estate attorneys, financial advisors, and accountants. We ask the questions that don’t get asked, and make sure our client has a say in decisions being made about their own life, not just decisions made around them.
Life Enrichment: A Life, Not a Schedule
Rides, company, hearing aids that were never fitted properly, a move handled gently. And what still lights someone up: a lecture worth attending, a standing Wednesday lunch, built back into the week.
General Check-Ins & Life Logistics: Whatever Today Needs
A text to make sure the evening medication got taken. A confusing bill in the mail. Ensuring everyday items like dentist appointments happen. Most days aren’t a crisis, they’re a dozen small things that need someone to notice them. We’re the ones you call when you don’t know who else to call.
