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 transitions between hospital, rehabilitation, and home, Solace Elder Care advocates ensure nothing falls through the cracks. Your advocate attends discharge planning meetings, reviews facility recommendations, and confirms that appropriate follow-up care is arranged before your parent leaves any healthcare setting. They help identify warning signs that might indicate a need to adjust the care plan, giving you confidence that transitions happen at the right time with proper supports in place. This careful oversight prevents common problems like medication errors, missed appointments, or readmissions that often occur during care transitions.
Medical appointments often leave families with more questions than answers. Solace advocates attend these appointments virtually, ask clarifying questions doctors might skip, and ensure your concerns are properly addressed. Afterward, they review test results and treatment recommendations in plain language, helping you understand what the findings actually mean for your parent's daily life. Your advocate creates clear action plans from complex medical information, prioritizing next steps and explaining which services are covered by insurance. This translation of medical jargon into practical guidance helps families make confident decisions about their loved one's care.
Caring for an aging parent often means navigating unfamiliar territory without a roadmap. Solace advocates connect families with local resources like meal delivery, transportation services, and respite care options that can dramatically reduce caregiver stress. They help evaluate which services best match your parent's needs and preferences, saving you countless hours of research and trial-and-error. Your advocate also identifies community programs and support groups specifically designed for family caregivers, ensuring you receive emotional support and practical guidance throughout your caregiving journey.
Balancing your parent's desire for independence with legitimate safety concerns creates difficult conversations for many families. Solace advocates conduct environmental assessments to identify potential hazards in the home and recommend specific modifications that enhance safety without sacrificing dignity. They help implement monitoring solutions that provide peace of mind while respecting privacy, and coordinate with healthcare providers to address concerns about medication management, mobility, or cognition. By approaching these sensitive topics as a neutral third party, your advocate helps families have productive conversations about aging safely at home.
