Pledge Of Ethics

Pledge of Ethics

Genevieve Faulk, President of Bayshore Geriatric Solutions, is a member of both the National Association of Professional Geriatric Care Managers and the National Association of Social Workers and therefore upholds a Pledge of Ethics and a Code of Ethics. The following is our pledge to our clients

PROVISION OF SERVICE  
We will provide ongoing service to you only after we have assessed your needs and you, or a person designated to act for you, understand and agree to a plan of service, the results that may be expected from it, and the cost of service.

SELF-DETERMINATION
We will base our plan of service on goals you, or a person designated to act for you, have defined, and which enhance the decisions you have made concerning your life.

LOYALTY
Our first duty is loyalty to you. We will always provide services based on your best interest, even if this conflicts with our interests or the interests of others.

TERMINATION OF SERVICE
We will end service to you only after reasonable notice. We will recommend a plan for you to continue to receive the services as needed.

SUBSTITUTE JUDGMENT
We will not substitute our judgment for yours unless we are acting in the role of your guardian, appointed by a Court of Law, or with your approval, or the approval of someone designated to act for you.

CONFIDENTIALITY
We will hold in trust any confidence you give us, disclosing information to others only with your permission, or if we are compelled to do so by a belief that you will be seriously harmed by our silence, or if the laws of this State require us to do so.

REFERRALS/DISCLOSURE
We will refer you only to services and organizations we believe to be appropriate and of good quality. We will fully explain to you any business relationship we have with any service we propose, and give you information on alternatives, if at all possible, so that you, or a person designated to act for you, can make an informed decision to accept or reject the services we recommend to you.

COOPERATION
We will strive to ensure cooperation between all of the individuals involved in providing service and care to you.

QUALIFICATIONS
We are fully qualified in our profession to provide the services we undertake. We continue to improve our skills and knowledge by participating in professional development programs and maintaining certification and licensing in our profession.

DISCRIMINATION
We will not promote or sanction any form of discrimination.

Elder Care Management Services

Crisis Intervention

Often an older adult and/or a family member, when faced with an emergency situation is uncertain where to turn.  Bayshore Geriatric Solutions is able to step in and offer direction in the midst of a crisis. Long distance family members can have peace of mind knowing that our geriatric care managers will handle emergency situations of older adults, who are established clients of Bayshore Geriatric Solutions.

 

On-Going Support & Supervision

In some cases the older adult may need on-going monitoring in order to maintain the highest level of independence in their home. The older adult may not have family members in town or family members that are bound by other obligations that are unable to assist with necessary daily programs. In this case, our geriatric care managers can step in and provide regular support and supervision to the older adult. Routine reports can then be given, either in written format through a letter and/or e-mail or through verbal communication via phone, to concerned family members or other professionals regarding the on-going status of the older adult.

Long Term Placement in Continuing Care Retirement Communities, Assisted Living Facilities or Nursing Homes

If, for some reason, it is no longer safe and appropriate for the older adult to remain at their home, our geriatric care managers can navigate the maze of long term placement steps and state required paperwork. Our geriatric care managers can also assist older adults and/or their family members in coping with the emotions of transition from home to facility.

Geriatrics In-Home Comprehensive Assessment and Evaluation

The comprehensive assessment and evaluation is conducted by our professional geriatric care managers in the convenience of the older adult’s home or family member’s home. This home visit includes an assessment and evaluation of the older adult’s areas of strength and areas of need. An individualized care plan is then developed based on the in-home assessment; referrals are made to needed supportive geriatric community resources, and the coordination of these services is handled by our geriatric care managers. Examples of supportive geriatric resources can include, but are not limited to the following: personal care services, home making services, home health services, home delivered meals, adult day care, live-in assistance, respite care services, medical equipment, transportation arrangement, escort to necessary appointments, maintenance of home, social engagement and activities, 24-hour personal emergency response systems, assisted living facilities and nursing homes, and financial management services.

One of the many services provided by Bayshore Geriatric Solutions, Inc. is an In-Home Comprehensive Assessment and Evaluation. The in-home comprehensive assessment and evaluation is completed to create an individualized care plan for the client. Our comprehensive assessment and evaluation includes obtaining psychosocial, legal and financial, medical, physical and mental functioning, and environmental information. Using this holistic approach, our Geriatric Care Managers are able to provide a completed evaluation with recommendations to improve one’s safety and quality of life. A sample comprehensive assessment and evaluation is available upon request.
