Family members are often thrown into a caregiving or navigation role. You were simply not trained to uncover and understand all that is involved. Discovering how to navigate the system is especially difficult when you are personally and emotionally involved, while juggling your own work, family and personal commitments. SeniorCareAccess Consultants understand this and are ready to assist you with uncovering your needs and developing an action plan with support specifically for YOU!

What is the cost?

The SCA Senior’s Consulting Program is designed to be financially accessible to families and individuals. Building on being transparent, our process and pricing is simple yet flexible. Identify your level of consultation and associated costs. Please note: 3rd party fees are paid directly by the customer to the 3rd party, separate from any SCA fees.
