What is Elder Care and Adult Mediation?
Mediation is a structured, although informal process where the mediator, a
neutral trained professional, helps the parties involved identify and discuss
issues of mutual concern. The process is confidential and voluntary. When
necessary, the parties might request the professional services of accountants,
financial planners, geriatric social workers, religious leaders, and lawyers.
These professional advisors often include care givers, such as nursing home
administrators, physicians, and nurses, in addition to the elder and other
interested family members.
Why choose mediation?
Family dynamics are complicated. They have taken years to evolve and they are
further compounded by the transitions inherent in the changing lifestyle,
relationships and needs of an elder. Family disputes that have been simmering
for years often can obscure the best intentions of all involved. Mediation
enables proactive families to have good discussions and opportunities to resolve
conflict that potentially could tear them apart financially and emotionally. In
mediated family meetings, everyone has the opportunity to privately explore the
needs and feelings of all involved and to deal rationally with the problems and
issues under discussion outside of a courtroom. The family knows what is best
for them and mediation gives them the vehicle to make their own best decisions.
How mediation works
for you:
Family
Member Phone Coaching: Many families don't live
in Houston or near the senior at the heart of the concern.
Therefore, we offer the convenience of a phone call. During
these phone calls, as an example, one or all of the children can
participate in being coached on how to handle the coordination
of their family's dispute. Sometimes, this phone coaching
is all that a family needs to begin their conversation.
There are no contracts for coaching calls.
Family
Mediation: When a family needs a quality conversation
to make decisions that might include the health, well-being,
financial management, and end of life decisions of a loved
senior, a family mediation is ideal. The mediation can be
held at our conference room, your dining room table, the
assisted living or nursing facility, or where the senior might
reside. The objective is to have the family together and
to make decisions that support the relationship of the whole
family. We strive for a quality conversation that is
assisted by a third party neutral, the mediator.
If needed,
we can help you find elder care experts who can be expert
resources to help you make decisions. As an elder care
mediator, we work as part of a team: Your family ~
