I do a 90 minute virtual review with clients or entire families for 400.00 that includes referrals and assessment of acute needs. If they want me to review documents and develop a medical profile and care plan with resources it is 1500. If they need in person advocacy services and the above, I charge 2500 for initial ten hrs of work then 250/hr for additional hrs. Most of my clients choose the third option as I tend to get very medically complex cases.

Hey Maggie,
I get these calls as well. Based on my past experience, I've spent anywhere from 2-3 hrs with the client and family. So I quote a flat consultation fee. If they want to execute/notarize the documents, then I charge extra. Hope that helps.

Thanks for starting the thread, Andrew! We're very glad you're here.
Are there approaches you have taken to help your senior clients be able to interact with their smart devices at all? for example, to confirm appointments via text? What resources do your clients mostly find manageable — if there are any patterns you see? (would love you to edit the post and expand the thought a bit more, if you're game, in hopes of having others join in or learn from your experience!)

I can attest that when my husband was in the sub-acute rehab for 60 days, not a single staff member ever said, «Here's your toothbrush and spit cup.» If I wasn't there that day, the teeth didn't get brushed.
That was last year, and he just went through an extraction. UGH!
Shelbey, I've sent several people to your GNA profile recently. Hopefully they turn into business for you.
