Caregiving Solutions for the Elderly and Their Families: New Challenges for Today's Families Many people face the challenge of caring for a disabled spouse or elderly family member—often without the information or support they need to cope with the sometimes overwhelming burdens of medical care, social service bureaucracies, and financial obligations.
Until recently, they faced this task alone. Now, with ElderLink, there is help and hope.
A Unique Approach to Elderly Care ElderLink was created out of an unusual public-private partnership among Inova Health System, the Fairfax Area Agency on Aging, and the Alzheimer’s Association of Northern Virginia.
An exceptional array of resources, programs, and services, combined with a well-trained staff of skilled geriatrics specialists, makes us uniquely qualified to address the specific needs of caregivers and elderly clients alike.
Most importantly, ElderLink coordinates and manages all elements of patient care (medical, social, legal, financial), minimizing the stress and confusion families often experience when dealing with multiple service providers.
Services Some families require minimal assistance—others require intensive intervention. Whatever the situation, ElderLink will make the most appropriate recommendation based on a careful assessment of patient and family needs.
Making a Donation ElderLink is a not-for-profit program that relies on community support. Tax-deductible contributions from individuals, service groups, and local businesses help us participate in the partnership for the sake of our elderly neighbors. Donations may be mailed directly to ElderLink.
Fees ElderLink is a private, not-for-profit organization. In Fairfax County, a flat rate is charged for an assessment, care plan, and service coordination. Outside Fairfax County, an affordable hourly rate is charged for care management services. Financial assistance may be available on a sliding fee basis.
