Objectivity is difficult when you are dealing with your own parent. My mother is becoming more forgetful. What are the risks of her living alone? Should I intervene? Questions about circumstances such as these call for the professionals at Aging Network Services. 

Whatever the concern

A husband worn out taking care of his wife, an ill father who lives out of town, or a daughter who wants to cope more effectively with her difficult mother - ANS has helped families solve these and a host of other problems since 1982. 

No matter where in the USA your parent resides

Aging Network Services personally selects a geriatric care manager to visit your parents. Our membership network consists of 250 Masters-level social workers throughout the United States who have met ANS' exacting standards of professionalism - in credentials, geriatric experience and sensitivity. Careful consideration is given to matching the specialties of the local care manager to the particular needs of your parent. 

ANS is more than simply matching resources to people

Forming trusting relationships with our older clients is at the heart of our service. Complex family situations and resistance to outside help are our everyday experience. Caseloads are kept small to ensure personalized attention and high quality. 

ANS is insurance qualified

Health insurance and Medicare may cover a portion of the psychotherapy costs. Long-Term Care policies may cover a portion of the care management costs. Check with your insurance company.
