FAQs
1. What does Elder Care Connections of Vermont do exactly?
We are care managers who have specific training and experience enabling us to assess seniors’ needs and create and manage a specialized plan of care to meet those needs. We help seniors and their families better understand the specific resources and services available to them. One of the aspects we most often help people with is selecting the right senior care facility for them, like the one at https://chelseaseniorliving.com/locations/new-jersey/monroe-township/. With so many options people don’t exactly know where to start or what to look for. In recognizing that this is a major life decision, we take up the task of assisting others with this ourselves. We recognize that each senior’s needs are unique. We work to provide clear recommendations to maximize the safety, independence and overall quality of life for each senior and provide peace of mind to their family.
