   Ninety minutes of telephone, home or office-based consultation with Monica (UCB ’85) who is a Bay Area expert on family caregiver issues and geriatric mental health. 


 


If you or someone you know is responsible for or caring about an elder, Monica can assist. Even long distance caregiving has its challenges and stresses. You may be trying to maintain your loved one at home as long as possible, considering a move to care facility or concerned about depression or dementia. Or you may be a professional such as fiduciary, estate planner, psychotherapist, or real estate agent seeking expertise with a client who has complex family ties or mental health issues. A collaborative team approach eases late-life transitions. This ninety-minute consultation includes a comprehensive psychosocial assessment, recommendations, and referrals. Consultation can be with individual or family.
