September 15, 2021 | 12:00 PM Noon
In working with older adults and their families, we often nd there is much confusion about the di erent options that are available for senior care. From home care, assisted living communities, nursing homes and memory care facilities the options can be overwhelming. Educating yourself about the various senior care options available will help you make a decision that can lead to a more positive outcome versus making a hasty decision in the middle of a crisis.

Dear Colleagues and Associates,
Certainly there has been much anticipation as we have moved into phase 3 in this great reopening of our country, and we are hoping for phase 4 to begin in later June. Nonetheless, stating that as a society we have experienced many challenges in 2020 - that is the understatement of the year!
There are many facets of society that have changed, such as the pivotal roles of any essential worker occupations that are greatly needed during this time! The roles of essential workers are simply busier then ever. The same can be said for a day in the life, and evening, for the care manager, life care manager, case manager, geriatric care manager, or whatever the preferred semantic, of the day is, that describes our wonderful profession.
Elite Life Care Services and Elite Guardian Services are available to their clients and wards on a 24/7 basis! The “Elite Difference” is a never ending constant, within an ever changing world, and universe! What is the “Elite Difference” ? The Elite Difference is a philosophy, not just another mission statement. This philosophy can take on several meanings, when applied as, “ A Day in the Life , or Evening of an ELCS Care Manager!” The Elite Difference, entails the following:
ELCS treats every client and ward as to how we would expect our own family members to be treated. That difference includes a passion for the profession, compassion, empathy, creativity, and a professional approach to solving the clients health, and life challenges! As experts in this field, we are available 24/7
Quite often, the ELCS care manager starts their day before the designated hours of a normal 9am-5-pm business day, or after hours, beyond the 6pm threshold. Why is this? With the complexities of clients and wards needs, ranging from complex mental health cases to unexpected developments at home, for an elderly client, anything can happen, at anytime! Here are some real life scenarios!

How does one make a company, in the business of Caring for others, stand out from all the rest? The short answer is to build a team of people who genuinely Care for their Clients and Wards. This team must start from the top down. This team must be able to demonstrate the genuine care for others more through actions than just saying the right things that people love to hear.
Troy Kerber, Director of Elite Life Care Services, has a mantra he likes to state during every team meeting. Troy always asks, “How can that action be of benefit to the Client?”. You see, at Elite Life Care Services the needs of our clients are of the highest priority! To this end, Mr. Kerber has built a team of people with an amazingly diverse array of backgrounds, but, with one thing in common. We Truly Care!

Special Holiday Edition
Difficulties Seniors Face During the Holidays
The holiday season is a time of celebration and happiness. For many seniors, however, it can be difficult to stay positive and happy during this time. To help seniors combat the isolation, lack of activity, and depression that might occur during the holidays, it's important to stay educated and proactive. Below is a guide to what you need to know about seniors and the difficulties of the holiday season, as well as ways to stay upbeat and positive so the holidays can be a more happy, joyous time.
Seniors may find the holiday season less than joyous for a variety of reasons, but here are a few to consider:
Limited mobility: Many seniors cannot move around as they once did, especially with physical limitations. This can make the holiday season less exciting for seniors, with the inability to shop, visit, and celebrate like others limiting the joy of the season.

May is Mental Health Month
During the month of May, Elite Life Care Services joins the national movement to raise awareness about mental health. Established in 1949, Mental Health Month sought to put a spotlight on the importance of mental health and wellness. Each year we continue to fight against the stigma associated with mental health, provide support for those with mental illness, as well as advocate for policies on behalf of those with mental illness and their loved ones.
While 1 in 5 people will experience mental illness over the course of their lifetimes, everyone will face challenges that can and will affect their mental health. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on the mental health of people of all ages. Now, more than ever, it is critical to reduce the stigma around mental health struggles, because that stigma often prevents individuals from seeking help.

This Sunday, March 13, we'll lose an hour of sleep to this irrational occasion. And honestly, being tired isn't even the worst of it. No matter how many Daylight Savings Times we survive, resetting the clocks on our microwaves is an actual nightmare. And for that, there's no forgiving you daylight saving – you are unbearable!
Putting our feelings aside, come Monday, you're gonna move with the speed of a tortoise stuck in the mud. It won't be fun, but it doesn't have to be the worst day ever. And even though it doesn't look like it outside, or will feel like it this weekend, Spring is on its way. In this long-awaited season of new beginnings, take time to stop and smell the roses. Take time to bask in the warmth of the sun, and as always, take time to be kinder to one another.

May/June 2022
Here are some tips on what you and your family can do to make Memorial Day special, to show your support, and to teach your little ones about the holiday and what it truly means.
Fly the Flag: Sounds simple but it’s one of the best ways to show your support. Proudly decorate your home, porch, front lawn or vehicle with the red, white and blue. Got a flag pole? Raise the flag up high! However, just remember that you should put it at half mast from dawn til noon out of respect. Check out more Memorial Day flag etiquette guidelines here. Attend a Parade: The last couple of years have been unique in that not many parades have been permitted to happen due to COVID-19 protocols, but when all the restrictions are lifted, we can all go back to attending or participating in Memorial Day parades, filled with decorative floats, music, and flags. Cheer on the veterans, active service members, bands and patriotic organizations as they pass by..
