The stress of caring for an aging family member can make simple tasks like scheduling appointments, arranging transportation, and organizing paperwork feel overwhelming.
An advocate can make the calls, manage the appointments, and keep records organized so you can focus on what matters most: spending quality time with your loved one.
In a perfect world, we’d all be able to care for our aging parents at home, but that’s not always possible. In-home senior care requires a lot of space, financial resources, and sometimes even mobility equipment.
Whether you need help caring for your parents at home or finding the most comfortable living facility, a senior care advocate can help. They’ll be by your side every step of the way to find the solutions that fit your family best.
Caring for an aging loved one can sometimes feel exhausting, frustrating, and isolating. Luckily, you don’t have to do it alone. Having someone to talk to, someone who really understands what you’re going through, can make all the difference—because your health matters, too.
Your Solace senior care advocate will be a shoulder to lean on when times get hard and a voice of reason when nothing makes sense.

With Solace, you get both a patient advocate and a supporting physician, which we refer to as your “care team”.
Your advocate will be there to manage the day to day aspects of your care: coordinating with doctors, researching potential solutions and communicating updates to you.
Your supporting physician can unlock resources for you and your advocate that might otherwise be out of reach.
When your loved one moves between the hospital, a rehab facility, and home, things can easily get missed. A Solace Elder Care advocate makes sure nothing falls through the cracks. Your advocate attends discharge planning meetings (when staff discuss releasing your parent from a facility). They review what the facility suggests and confirm that proper follow-up care is arranged before your parent leaves.
Your advocate helps you spot warning signs that the care plan might need changes. This gives you confidence that transitions happen at the right time with the right support in place. This careful attention prevents common problems like medication mix-ups, missed appointments, or hospital readmissions that often happen when people move between care settings.
Medical appointments often leave families with more questions than answers. Solace advocates join these appointments remotely and ask questions doctors might skip. They make sure your concerns get addressed. After the appointment, they review test results and treatment recommendations in plain language. They help you understand what the findings actually mean for your parent's daily life.
Your advocate creates clear action plans from complex medical information. They prioritize the next steps and explain which services insurance covers. This turns medical jargon into practical guidance that helps families make confident decisions about their loved one's care.
Caring for an aging parent often means dealing with unfamiliar systems without knowing where to start. Solace advocates connect families with local resources like meal delivery, transportation services, and respite care options. These services can greatly reduce caregiver stress. Your advocate helps figure out which services best fit your parent's needs and preferences. This saves you countless hours of research and guesswork.
Your advocate also finds community programs and support groups specifically for family caregivers. This ensures you get emotional support and practical guidance throughout your caregiving journey.
Balancing your parent's desire for independence with real safety concerns creates difficult conversations for many families. Solace advocates look at your parent's home environment to identify possible dangers. They recommend specific changes that improve safety without taking away dignity. This might include grab bars, better lighting, or removing tripping hazards.
Your advocate helps set up ways to check on your parent that provide peace of mind while respecting privacy. They work with healthcare providers to address concerns about medication management, mobility, or memory issues. Because your advocate is an outside person (not a family member), they can help families have helpful conversations about aging safely at home without the emotional tension that sometimes happens between parents and children.
