STOP...Nursing Homes are not usually the best option...just the easiest!

January 31, 2017/ Alee Solutions

I was called in to advocate for a Senior (who was Alert & Oriented x4) who's niece had her sign over her POA & Health Care Surrogate.

Being told she was to move over 55 miles away from everyone she has ever known, whom she loves and supports her the following day destined to live out her life in a Long Term Care Nursing Home, she was devastated.

Alee Solutions spent 5+ hrs collaborating with her rehab therapist, rehab SW, church friends, neighbors & community resources and we were able to stop the hold this niece had over her and get her voice heard once again. She will be returning home to live the best life possible for as long as possible.

Before resorting to a nursing home...call me I can help!
