You need the Senior Care Organizer if:

• You’re caring for your aging parent, relative or other elder friend in addition to caring for your family and/or fulfilling job responsibilities.
• You want to reduce your stress
• You have no idea where to start and you’re feeling overwhelmed.

• Your parents live a long distance away and you find it difficult to manage all of the various duties and responsibilities.
• You want a simple method for determining what information to collect and how to organize it for easy reference.
• You want to organize your own personal information in order to be prepared for the future or, in case of your own healthcare emergency.

What is the Senior Care Organizer?

• A hands-on guide for collecting, organizing, and storing the information you need to manage senior adult care, or to set up your own plan for the future.
• It’s a partner to existing texts, while it provides an easy approach to help simplify the process for bringing the necessary details together.
• It provides a mechanism for early preparation and organization in order to help reduce the strain and outside pressures when urgent needs arise.

We don’t know what the future holds as it relates to what medical or physical needs, we, or our parents or other senior adult family members will have. People who anticipate stepping into a parent care role and make some plans, feel less burdened in an emergency than people who’ve made no plans.

About the Author

Claudia Rumwell

Claudia is an educator, author, nurse, and patient advocate and is uniquely qualified to be involved with those who are in their senior years.

For the majority of her nursing career, she has specialized in the diagnostic process and care of 50-80 year olds with disease in their arteries. For the past 30 years she has made formal presentations, provided training to physicians and other medical personnel, and taught classes in the vascular field.

She had the privilege of advocating for her own parent’s care for 12 years as their health needs changed and they moved from total independence, to assisted living, and to extended care. In addition, Claudia has volunteered her time to work with other seniors as well as friends with aging parents who needed advice about “where to start” or “what to do” with respect to care needs. She has received unique perspectives from residents and employees of both assisted living and full time care locations.

This “hands on” experience as a parent caregiver, which includes having had the opportunity to work with and learn from geriatric care managers, social workers, an elder law attorney, hospital discharge planners, and insurance providers, to name a few, inspired her to create The Senior Care Organizer.  Claudia loves people, but more importantly, has a special place in her heart for seniors.
