Aging Solo

Not everyone has a spouse, children, or close relatives nearby to lean on as they age. If you’re aging solo, you may worry about who will help with medical appointments, emergencies, or everyday decisions. At ElderCARE, our professional care managers step in as trusted guides and advocates, so you don’t have to face this journey alone.

How Care Managers Support Solo Agers

Aging solo doesn’t mean aging without support. Our team provides compassionate, practical services tailored for individuals who want to remain independent but need a trusted partner along the way.

🩺 Healthcare Advocacy

We attend medical appointments, coordinate care, and make sure your voice is heard. This ensures doctors and providers understand your goals and preferences.

📑 Planning Ahead

From advance care planning services to legal documents and emergency plans, we help you prepare for the “what-ifs” so your wishes are honored, and your future feels secure.

🏡 Staying Independent at Home

We assess safety risks, recommend changes, and connect you with resources that support safe, independent living.

💙 Companionship & Connection

We understand that loneliness and isolation can be a real challenge. A care manager provides regular check-ins, emotional support, and community connections to help you feel seen, valued, and supported.

📞 Trusted Emergency Contact

For many solo agers, one of the greatest fears is “What happens if something happens to me?” We provide reassurance by being on-call for crises, communicating with professionals, and ensuring you’re never left without an advocate.

Why This Matters

  • Nearly 1 in 4 adults over 65 in the U.S. is considered a “solo ager” — someone without a spouse, partner, or children to help provide care.

  • More than 27% of people age 60+ live alone, a number that continues to grow.

  • Studies show that solo agers are at greater risk of social isolation, depression, and gaps in medical care.

These numbers are real, but they don’t define you. At ElderCARE, we believe no one should feel like a burden or left to figure it all out alone.

The ElderCARE Difference

Our ElderCARE care management team provide more than just checklists and appointments—we offer peace of mind. By combining aging-friendly advisory services, and compassionate advocacy, we become the trusted partner solo agers need.

The goal is simple: to give you independence without isolation, and to make sure your journey through aging is supported, dignified, and never walked alone.
