In-Person Check-Ins

Your older loved one is somewhere in the Philly region, perhaps living alone or in a senior living community. Their health is declining and they need frequent assistance.

You either live out of town or might be traveling for a bit, and you’re agonizing over how they’ll manage without you. Maybe you’ve contracted with a non-medical home care service, or you’re relying on community staff for support, but you just don’t trust that your loved one is receiving the care they deserve.

What you really need is an experienced, specially trained advocate – ideally a Registered Nurse with a lifetime of experience working with seniors – whom you can fully trust to look out for them in your absence.

That’s where I come in!

During my regular, in-person check-ins, I’ll keep a sharp eye on your loved one. I’ll make sure they’re being properly cared for. I’ll ensure that the services you’ve purchased are being provided. I’ll confirm that changes to their situation or living conditions are being noticed and addressed. And, perhaps most importantly, I’ll keep you in the loop every step of the way.

In a nutshell, I’ll be a tough but trusted set of eyes and ears in your absence. You’ll gain peace of mind knowing I’m here for you and them, whenever you can’t be.

I offer three discounted in-person check-in packages (shown below), or I can structure a different package for you if your needs differ.
