There are many times that our clients will need the services of others to best meet their other non-legal needs.

Geriatric Care Manager

Schaefer + Associates, LLC. They offer senior assessment services (i.e. an assessment of what type of help – i.e. nurses, attendants, assisted living, etc.) and provide assistance for moving/transition issues.  She is an excellent resource to have for transition issues.  Her contact information is: 410 243-2382; www.schaeferassoc.com; diane@schaeferassoc.com.

 

Nurse Attendants

ComForcare Senior Services

For many families, the focus is trying to keep a parent in the home as long as possible.  That next step is then focusing on hiring an aide, assistant, or perhaps a nurse assistant.   Their caregivers are available anytime 24 hours a day 365 days a year.  ComForcare provides a wide range of daily personal services including: bathing, grooming, transfers in and out of wheelchairs, meal preparation, medication reminders, safety supervision, transportation/errands, chore services and light housekeeping, and family respite.  The contact information is: Jenette Young at 410 922-6262; jyoung@comforcare.com; http://nwbaltimore.comforcare.com.

Realtor

Linda Dieter is with Long & Foster Real Estate, Inc.  For many of my client’s the issue is either making the transition to an assisted living or nursing facility, or the issue is selling a house for probate or trust purposes.  Finding a good honest realtor is a key ingredient in the sales process so that your focus is on the loved one, other estate or trust issues, and not worrying about the sale of the house at issue. Her contact information is as follows: 410 583-9400; www.experthomefinder.com; LindaDieter@lnf.com.

 

Funeral Director

Evans Funeral Homes

With the passing of a loved one, finding an area funeral home can be a stressful time.  For most of our nursing home clients, we almost always recommend a prepaid funeral (that is Medical Assistant compliant) to a family member may attend to on their terms, at their pace (instead of being rushed), with an attentive funeral director.  Please contact funeral director, Kimberly A. Zavrotny, at 410 343-3000.  There are three locations: 1) 8800 Harford Road, Baltimore, MD 21234 – 410-665-9444; 2) 3 Newport Drive, Forest Hill, MD 21050 – 410-893-7575; and 3) 16924 York Road, Monkton, MD 21111 – 410-343-3000. www.evansfuneralchapel.com.
