MEDICAL TIPS FOR MOVING WITH AN AGING RELATIVE A geriatric care manager in the Katy/Fulshear area can help ease the loved one’s transition. The manager will be familiar with local health care providers, in home care agencies, senior living communities, and area resources. Organizing tip: Keep all legal documents related to your loved one’s health in an easily accessible place throughout the move. Determine the level of care that the loved one will need and what residential option (independent living, assisted living, or nursing home) is most appropriate. Select appropriate modes of transportation and assistance to help your loved one make the move. That may mean hiring a medical transport vehicle or transportation companies that provides non emergency medical transportation. If your aging relative can travel by airline, consider booking a non-stop flight or one that doesn’t require changing planes. A travel companion may be helpful in easing a loved one’s anxiety in travelling. Make sure that you have an adequate supply of all medications to cover the duration of the move until your loved one can make an appointment to see a new doctor. Select new healthcare providers, preferably ones who specialize in geriatric issues. Make sure that these doctors and specialists are in-network and covered by your loved one’s health insurance plan.
