Physical or mental crisis may occur for an elderly loved one at any time and without warning. During this time of crisis, a comprehensive geriatric assessment may be needed to determine the best course of action for that individual, whether it be in-home or out-of home. Remember, mental confusion may not be permanent. Temporary confusion can be caused by many things, including over-medication or infection. The Carolina Eldercare care manager is available to provide this assessment and implement the program required to bring comfort and relief.
