Our Services

 As your Senior Care Advocate, we will stay with the senior in all emergency situations. After the Senior has been admitted to a hospital or care facility, we will arrange any additional care-giving or companion services that are needed. 

 If you need post-surgery assistance with personal hygiene, meal preparation, housecleaning, laundry, errands, or transportation, A Solution by Design representatives will arrange for these services. 

 A Solution by Design arranges for experienced caregivers to assist in the Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) like bathing, grooming, and dressing. 

 If you or someone you know has a surgical procedure scheduled and are concerned about recovering at home, we can help. A Solution by Design representative will arrange for in-home care throughout San Antonio, TX and surrounding area. We can arrange for any and all care-giving and medical personnel that they may be needed during convalescence. 

 Drawing up floor plans, furniture, and fixture selection, decorating and making sure the place of residence is senior safe. 

We find the proper place for any senior, be it in an assisted and/or independent living facility, a nursing home, or whatever their need may be. Then, we pack, unpack, and coordinate all aspects of relocating the senior into their new home.   

 We coordinate all home services, such as cable, newspaper, phone, internet, mail address forwarding, etc.  

 We arrange for downsizing by donating to charities, having estate sales, or gifting items to friends or family. 

 Shopping can be physically challenging for many elders.  Our shopping service can assist in making grocery lists, shopping, and putting the groceries away.  We assist in making everyday purchases such as groceries to completely furnishing a room, apartment, or home.  

  Visits to doctors and other appointments can be difficult for some elders to manage alone. Our specialist provides one-on-one round trip accompaniment for doctor’s appointments. In addition to filling out doctor’s forms, our specialist acts as a liaison between all medical personnel and the assisted or nursing home personnel.

Filling and refilling prescriptions is a very long and complicated procedure, especially when dealing with mail order pharmacies.  It is critical the senior gets his or her medications on time, especially after being released from a hospital or rehabilitation facility.  Often, new medications have been ordered while in these facilities, and the medical personnel are not responsible for the obtaining these prescriptions after being released.  I have a vast amount of experience in making sure all my senior clients always have their medications as needed.

 It is our desire for the senior to live with dignity and respect in all areas of their lives.  It has been our experience that the senior deeply desires to be involved in the planning of their funeral.    

A Solution by Design will help you prearrange all the details of your funeral service. The first senior to ask me to take him to a funeral mortuary to plan his funeral said, “This is the last and most important decision that I will ever get to make, and I want to do this.”  I agreed.

 We manage everything from balancing checkbooks, to filing long-term care insurance, paying bills via checks or online, and everything in between.  We can also set up automatic payments and direct deposits for social security, pensions, and VA, etc. A Solution by Design oversees home deliveries, monitors home maintenance, mails bills & letters, maintains your calendar, and gives appointment reminders.

  A Solution By Design is committed to protecting your senior's finances.  No funds will be withdrawn without their permission . We will help the senior to recover money that has been stolen and help resolve situations in which the senior has been defrauded. 

  As the Senior Care Manager for many seniors, we have signed up many clients for hospice services.  I usually am able to keep my seniors in their present living conditions while adding on hospice services.  It is very important to select and be familiar with the different hospice companies in order to provide the best possible service for the senior in their final days.  I also am very diligent in overseeing the hospice personnel to ensure they are providing exactly what the senior needs in these circumstances.

 A Solution by Design can arrange for in-home caregivers on a regular or on-call basis.

  If your family would like to travel with your senior family member who needs assistance with personal tasks such as bathing and grooming, A Solution by Design can help. We can arrange for a companion to travel with your family, assist your loved one with personal hygiene, medication supervision, meal preparation, and companionship. 

  As we age and lose more and more of our friends and relatives, most often our pets are our greatest comfort.  In my experience, my senior clients have actually lived longer having a furry little friend to love.  However, taking care of our pet’s needs becomes impossible at times.  We are big animal lovers, and we will do anything to keep the senior and pet together to the very end.  This includes selecting the appropriate pet, buying all the supplies, contracting for doggy doors, as well as arranging for dog walkers.  We will also provide any services that might be needed for whatever pet your senior may have in his or her life.

  I am a professional organizer and a professionally trained troubleshooter.  I am also an expert moderator, working to resolve issues between clients and other companies.  I am especially skilled in organizing and downsizing spaces. There is no job too small or too big that could not benefit from my services.

 A Solution by Design is exemplary in planning that special birthday or holiday party for your very special senior.  We know it can be hard to find the time, so let us plan the party from beginning to the end.  We can create the theme, buy the party decorations, order the cake, and decorate the venue. We have planned many birthday parties for our seniors and have built great relationships with multiple venues throughout the city.

  Many times as seniors become older, their ability to keep things organized becomes increasingly difficult. We specialize in all areas of keeping a household in order and safe.  Seniors are at a higher risk for falling as they age. Therefore, keeping a place organized and free from clutter is very important.
