Assessment and Planning

About Our Clients
Established in 1989, Caring Choices works primarily with the elderly and their families. Often these clients are elderly who have geographically distant family, family who are limited by other responsibilities and time, or elderly who have no family. Those clients who are not elderly include people who are disabled by physical or psychiatric disorders.

Attorneys and bank officers depend on us to provide care menagement to their clients whom they serve as guardians or Power of Attorney.

All of our clients are compromised in their functioning as a consequence of physical or mental impairment. A majority of our clients have dementia from Alzheimer’s disease or stroke. Other clients have limitations related to diseases such as Parkinson’s, cardiac, respiratory, diabetes, and cancer or brain injury.
