Description

The Care Team is comprised of the Care Navigator and the Care Support Committee, working together closely. The Care Team is available to discuss concerns related to aging in your home and end-of-life issues. Meanwhile, the Committee is available during a complex health situation to assess needs, help coordinate Valley Village services, and offer relevant community service referrals. Generally, the Care Team visits members in their homes. Examples of times when the Care Team might be helpful include dealing with a health setback, preparing for hospitalization and recuperation, dealing with short-term illnesses, confronting mortality, and/or needing help in accessing both Valley Village and community services. The Care Navigator reaches out to members to arrange a home visit before problems arise so as to get to know members, including their wishes, their challenges, and their questions. The services of any part of the Care Team are available by calling the Care Navigator at 540.209.6484 ext 3.
