We have the resourcefulness and experience to navigate the bumpy
path ​to optimal care.

Senior Concierge Services of Iowa provides a wide variety of professional social work services. Here is a partial list. We welcome inquiries and the opportunity to tailor our services to your needs.

• Facilitate and moderate family meetings and communication. 
  We can get your family together in person or virtually to discuss
  the path forward.
• Provide mental health evaluations and dementia screenings. 
  A private and confidential mental health assessment screening
  for depression, dementia or other mental health concerns.
• Make regular and unscheduled visits to nursing homes. Sadly,
  Iowa provides the least oversight to nursing home patients in the country. We can drop in from time to time to visit and make sure
  your loved one is well and cared for.
• Provide guidance about level of care needed and line up visits to appropriate facilities. We can help determine what level of care
  your loved one needs, and screen facilities to provide you with a list
  of appropriate choices.
• Coordinate transitions for home to other levels of care.
• Support and counsel the bereaved. After the death of one parent,
  it can be excruciatingly difficult to return home and leave the surviving parent alone. We can provide bereavement counseling
  and emotional support during this time. 
• Establish decision-makers for long-term planning. It is crucial
  that families discuss end-of-life issues, and that powers of attorney
  for financial and medical matters are named. In addition, a family conversation about end-of-life wishes that takes place when your loved one is healthy can avoid great difficulty later.
• Caregiver support. We can support caregivers by identifying
  respite services, support groups and other supportive services.

Companionship Services
In addition to professional social work and case management services,
​we also provide companionship services, such as:

• Transportation to appointments
• Social outings
• Memoir writing and family projects
• De-cluttering and home reorganization
• Shopping​
• Technology support

About Our Team
It is our hope to match staff with clients in a way that is beneficial to both people. A client who formerly ran a company might be paired with a recently retired businessperson, for example. Or a client interested in antiques might be served by a staff member with similar interests. Each staff person brings her or his own individual strengths to the relationship. It is our hope that the lives of everyone involved will be enriched.
