How Concierge Medicine Simplifies Care for Elderly and Chronically Ill Family Members
Dealing with elderly parents or a chronically ill family member can be challenging, especially when you can't seem to get the 24/7 care you need and they have so many different specialists that they need to see. With life getting busier every day, finding a way to simplify your family member's health care is crucial.
Concierge medicine is an excellent tool for people who need on-call care and personalized medicine for chronic illnesses. Caring for elderly and ill family members is much easier with a trustworthy concierge medicine doctor.
If you live in the Los Angeles, California, area, Dr. Jeff Toll offers concierge medicine to make caring for your family easier. Dr. Toll is an internal medicine doctor who offers 24/7 on-call care through a simple call or text.
The facts on concierge medicine
Concierge medicine used to be reserved for the rich, but it's now an affordable option for many people. For a monthly or yearly cost, a concierge doctor provides the same medical services as a primary care doctor with less waiting time and more personalized care.
People use concierge doctors for quick access to care that's only a phone call or text away. Same-day appointments are just one of the many perks of concierge medicine.
With concierge medicine, you can get regular care, preventive screenings, lab work, and annual physicals without the hassle of waiting months to see a primary care physician.
Is it right for my family?
Concierge medicine is an excellent option for many people, including those with busy lives and who care for elderly or chronically ill family members. It offers round-the-clock access to personalized care and telemedicine without having to wait weeks for an appointment.
It's also highly cost-effective, with an annual fee covering all your calls, texts, emails, and care. Getting advice or testing is as simple as picking up your phone and calling our office.
The goal of concierge medicine is to give you and your family the customized care you need when you need it. Caring for an ill family member is tough, but Dr. Toll helps minimize the burden with regular check-ins, house calls, personalized medicine, and specialist coordination.
Benefits to the elderly and chronically ill
Concierge medicine benefits many people, including those who are elderly and dealing with chronic health problems. It often takes weeks to get into a doctor's office for a check-up and sometimes months to get into a specialist, which isn't ideal for sick individuals.
With concierge medicine, help is right at your fingertips. There are so many benefits to your elderly and ill family members, including:
Access to personalized care anytime
The best aspect of concierge medicine is the 24/7 care Dr. Toll offers to his patients. You can call, text, or email with questions or concerns about your family member's health without leaving your home.
Coordination of specialist care
It can be tough to coordinate primary care visits and specialist care for your family—until now. Dr. Toll takes it to the next level by coordinating your family's specialist care so you can worry less. He works with those specialists to keep your family's health up-to-date and accurate.
Comprehensive health management
Concierge medicine allows you and your family to get to know Dr. Toll throughout their life. He provides comprehensive health care to help you stay on top of what you need to keep your family healthy and safe.
He coordinates specialist care, provides preventive maintenance and vaccines, and offers lifestyle tips to make health a priority for you and your family.
Building trust and opening communication
Another benefit of concierge medicine is the ability to communicate openly with Dr. Toll about anything that concerns you about your health. As you build trust with Dr. Toll, you can open up about your health and that of your elderly family members.
Preventive care
Preventive care is essential in every stage of life, but it's especially essential for the elderly and chronically ill. Concierge medicine provides immediate vaccines, cancer screenings, and routine exams to prevent chronic illness and issues from worsening.
