Tanya joins us today to discuss the role of a Senior Care Advisor, the services they offer, and what it’s like for families to work with one. We discuss Tanya’s experience searching for a Senior Care Advisor for her parents and why she felt it was important to find an advisor close to her parent's home. We discuss how Senior Care Advisors help families find the best services and facilities available for their loved ones and the challenges that many families face when the level of care their loved one needs changes. We discuss how Senior Care Advisors help families navigate the challenges associated with funding elder care services and identify the benefits they may qualify for. Tanya also shares tips to help long-distance family members to find suitable senior care services and facilities for their loved ones and the questions she recommends families ask when searching for a senior care advisory company in another state.
