How to Coordinate Household Services When You Live Far From an Aging Parent

Distance is manageable when communication is written down and agreed on.

Non-medical household-service coordination. Not a home health agency or medical provider.

For a medical emergency, immediate safety concern, suspected abuse, neglect, or exploitation, call 9-1-1 or your local emergency or protective-services agency. See Emergency Resources.

Use One Point of Contact

Brya Services Senior Concierge may serve as a point of contact for the senior and authorized family members regarding non-medical household-service requests.

Updates go to the people the senior has authorized.

Keep a Shared Task List

Track what was requested, what is scheduled, and what is finished.

Providers confirm scheduling and scope directly with the household.
