This extended conflict resolution process allows families to put aside individual differences to focus on the safety and well-being of an elderly loved one. The Eldercaring Coordinator is trained in high-conflict management, skilled in working with individuals of varying physical and mental capacity, and helps families develop and implement workable plans to address the changing needs of the elder.
