Char l es tonPhys i c i ans . com | www.Hea l thL i nksChar l es ton . com | 55 More than 900,000 seniors currently call South Carolina home, and that number is projected to increase dramatically through 2030. Unquestionably, the Palmetto State is an attractive place to “hunker down” for those remaining golden years. However, with aging come the inevitable medical, mental, emotional, social and financial challenges unique to older populations, and the many possible options can sometimes be overwhelming both to individuals and their loved ones. Senior Care Authority® of the Lowcountry has found its niche as a service that can make navigating senior-living challenges much easier for everyone. According to franchise owner Renee Allison-Riley, CSA, “Our personalized approach is truly the point of difference. We use our expertise to offer South Carolinians free assistance in choosing the perfect independent-living, assisted-living or memory-care facility when that time comes.” “First and foremost, we advocate for our families. We research and do our homework to navigate senior-care options, to unravel what can be a complex health care system, to get accurate and up-to-date information and to connect them with vetted local sources,” she said. “Furthermore, we schedule tours and accompany our seniors on those question-filled trips.” Other available fee-based services include Eldercare Consulting; Family Coaching; Peace of Mind Visits; Long-Term Skilled Nursing Research and Placement; Beyond Driving with Dignity; and Employee Assistance Solutions for Eldercare. All owners and staff are certified, background-checked and held to the highest ethical standards. Senior Care Authority® offers the unique opportunity to bring an objective third person into those sometimes-difficult family discussions about eldercare. Professional yet compassionate assistance can help families reduce stress, save time and money and, most importantly, deliver unbiased help to assure that elderly loved ones will find the best and most-affordable accommodations for their unique interests, needs and circumstances during their older years.
