Experience You Can Trust

No two people age in the same way. There isn’t a predicable path or timeline, no precise formula for solving problems.

You may have already discovered that determining possible solutions to problems that arise and choosing from among them can be confusing.  Perhaps what worked last year is no longer viable.

Determining the costs of various care options and if the option is covered by Medicare, Medicaid, or private insurance is also complex and may be disappointing.

We can help. The seasoned, trained and knowledgeable care managers at Elder Care Consultants provide customized care management services based on your needs.

With your help, we see the whole situation. We provide a comprehensive, and specific picture of the available supports and solutions for your family.

No care situation is static. We are here to respond and help as needs change.

“I work with care managers every day, and I seldom witness true concern or interest in their clients as people. Elder Care is different. This team brings a level of knowledge, experience, and empathy that compels everyone to think outside of the box, resulting in realistic goals and expectations that keep the focus on the client’s best interests.

Thank you for your tireless work as an advocate for your clients. Thank you for being able to see that providing healthcare to people is an individualized process, not a one size fits all answer. It is a combination of all of these factors that sets Elder Care Consultants apart from other case managers.” -HCR, Regional Director of Operations

Testimonials

“We were in a tough situation to arrange care for my 80 year old mother who wanted to stay in her home with declining memory capability. Chandis and the whole care team made sure she was safe and cared for and let her live with dignity until we were ready to transition her into assisted living closer to me. Communication and updates were frequent and when challenges arose, the ECC team always rose to the occasion.

Aging parents are the most stressful issue facing people, and ECC made sure that it was as easy as possible to help us navigate those fraught waters.

Thank you. You have my full throated endorsement.”

“Thanks so much for everything you’ve done over the last few years to care for [my aunt.] Your willingness to see to her every need and want (including the shopping trips – ha!) most certainly brought her joy. My sincere appreciation also for always keeping me informed and updated. Throughout all of her ups and downs I’ve always been reassured that you were there to make sure she received the best available care. Your personal attention and connection with [my aunt] made all the difference.”

“Faced with finding caregivers for my sick wife, Elder Care Consultants (ECC) promptly delivered a remarkable team: Mint Home Care. Vanessa and Silpa of ECC proactively managed a range of medical needs, from communicating with healthcare professionals to coordinating appointments. Their invaluable management transformed a potentially overwhelming experience. ECC deserves an excellent rating for their efficient and effective service.”

“I have been very pleased to work with Vanessa and her team. Some of my clients require day to day care management and ECC steps in. Others are planning ahead and consult regularly for when care management will be needed, either short term, post surgery or other medical event, or ongoing. ECC stands ready to provide personalized care. No cookie cutter responses. Calling ECC brings caring professionals to help the person and their loved ones.”

“Elder Care Consultants are top notch. Vanessa has provided such great advice through all of the stages of my mother’s Alzheimer’s journey. I was guided on intelligent questions for the assisted living and memory care facility so that my siblings and I had a better level of confidence in their team as well as my mother’s rights as a patient.

Also Vanessa’s years of experience comes through with her knowledge on the phases of memory loss as well typical elderly issues. That provides such comfort, as navigating all this with your parent can feel very isolating and even lonely.

At a time where many friends are juggling elder care decisions, I am so fortunate to have found Vanessa and her team.”

“Vanessa and Silpa were the two wonderful women I mainly worked with. My mom was in Virginia, I was in NY, so they were my go-to folks for everything! The team was amazing: professional, caring, flexible, understanding, and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend Elder Care Consultants. When I moved Mom to NY and had to switch services, Elder Care’s excellence was just reinforced for me. They are above and beyond.”

“Vanessa Bishop and her team of professionals are a God-Send! We’ve been using Elder Care Consultants for the last 13 years as my Mom’s health slowly declined … first mentally, then physically. With all three of us offspring scattered around the U.S., I always felt comfortable knowing Vanessa and the Elder Care team were there to respond … either for medical appointments, emergencies requiring immediate hospital care -or- just performing a simple visit to keep Mom active. Vanessa event responded to a hospital emergency on Thanksgiving Day!

I can’t thank Vanessa enough … and her team members, notably Michelle Mitchell, for taking care of my Mom … such an outstanding service they provide our aging parents and family members … THANK YOU VANESSA BISHOP & ELDER CARE CONSULTANTS TEAM!”

“You did a wonderful job. At the time I contacted you, I was having a difficult time dealing with all the situations that arise when being the caretaker for someone with dementia. You not only helped me identify and contact the various doctors that needed to be seen, various county workers that could help, and even a lawyer, and then took the appropriate lead in making appointments, gave me reminders of what needed to be done, and was always available to go to appointments with me when needed. I am sure every caregiver finds themselves in similar situations. I would recommend you highly and without reservation to have you help them through that difficult situation.”

“l have had the pleasure to work with Vanessa, the founder and owner, and her team of experts in care and problem resolving for families for over 20 years. They are warm, approachable and have a wealth of knowledge and contacts in aging issues…They are a lifeline during difficult times for families.”

“Thank you for taking time…to share your insight and professional activities with the Saint John Newman support group for the separated and divorced. I thought the questions were insightful as well as your very honest answers…I know from recent experience that there are many who would benefit from your services.”

“Vanessa Bishop and her team were lifesavers for my family. My sisters and I do not live in Washington, D.C., where our elderly father needed a lot of care. Vanessa helped us care for our father from afar, by scheduling doctors’ appointments and attending them with him; by advising us about our options for assisted living and home-health aides; by coordinating the home health aides and advocating for the best possible care for our father.

The last six months of our father’s life were hard, but Vanessa made them easier for him, and for all of us. I recommend her highly.”

“Elder care consultants has been helping our family for the past 20 years, with professionalism and great care. From one-on-one nursing care to assistance finding a skilled nursing facility and hospice providers, to critical intervention with a hospital, Elder Care has been there for us. ECC’s level of communication is superb, so everyone is in the same page.

Growing old is not for wimps, but this team is a marvel and has certainly given our elders a soft place to land with a consistently warm, caring touch. I have recommended their services to many of my friends over the years, and each has been delighted and grateful for their help. I just elicited a promise that they’ll be there for me when I need help, and that’s a great comfort. They’re simply the best.”

“Thank you Amy for everything you have done for [our father] and Becky these last couple years. We really had to lean on you to be our local support for them and you just exceeded our expectations all the time.  We would have probably had to move them out here, and we know they wouldn’t have wanted that, but we saw how thoughtfully and provided such care for them that we knew they were in the best possible hands. The confidence we had in you made our lives so much easier. So thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything.”
