Whether grappling with life changes associated with aging or facing challenges due to disabilities, Lotus Elder Care & Counseling is here to assist you every step of the way.
We provide a wide range of supportive health services for the elderly and their families as well as to adults with disabilities throughout Southern and Central New Jersey, including in Atlantic, Burlington, Camden, Gloucester, Mercer, Monmouth and Salem counties.
Established in 2014, Lotus Elder Care & Counseling offers two distinct types of services: Geriatric Care Management and Psychotherapy. Geriatric Care Management includes the assessment and coordination of services to meet the needs of elderly clients.
Psychotherapy services include counseling for the elderly and adults facing life challenges and transitions, such as depression, anxiety, loneliness, and loss.
Our clients include the elderly and adults with disabilities, as well as their spouses, caregivers and families. All of our services are mobile. We come to you in the comfort of your home – whether in a private dwelling, assisted living facility or long-term care facility. What makes us different is our ability to meet our clients’ needs in the most supportive environment – the privacy of their own home. Lotus Elder Care & Counseling works with you to assess your needs, resolve your issues and set a plan in motion to help prevent future crises.
One of Linda’s greatest strengths is her unique ability to connect clients with available resources in the community. Clients and their families rely on Linda to recommend assisted living, long-term care and specialized facilities that are just the right fit. Additionally, she makes referrals to hospice care, elder care attorneys, medical equipment suppliers and home-care agencies as needed.
Linda is also there to assist geriatric and disabled adult clients who simply need someone to check their home for safety hazards or assist them in navigating the complex health care system.
