The consultation includes:

  • A detailed review of medical history, current diagnoses, and overall health status

  • Evaluation of functional ability, activities of daily living, and level of independence

  • Cognitive screening to assess memory, decision-making, and executive functioning

  • Assessment of current in-home support and care needs

Recommendations may include coordination of care services, home modifications, medical follow-up, cognitive support strategies, and guidance on appropriate levels of care—both now and as needs evolve.

This process provides families with clarity, direction, and expert guidance—allowing for informed decisions and a proactive approach to aging.
