My
name is Lisa S. Laudeman, RN, BSN. I am the sole proprietor of
ElderCare Management of Durham. I graduated with highest honors from
North Carolina A&T State University's Nursing program in 1991 with a
Bachelor of Science degree.
After graduation,
I worked as a Surgical Intensive Care Nurse. This critical care nursing
experience helped me develop a strong base of technical skills in my chosen
career.
I began working in
home health care in 1993. This was a perfect fit for me. I enjoy educating
patients regarding their disease and disease management. It was very satisfying
to watch a patient successfully manage their disease or return to independent
living after an illness.
I saw that my
patients were often discharged from home care services, but still needed
support to remain independent in their home. Unfortunately, the services
they needed were not "medically necessary" and not covered by
insurance, even though they help patients manage their disease and decrease
re-hospitalizations.
Some of my elderly
patients were forced into hospital settings simply because they could
not manage their own care. Patients without family caregivers living nearby
were usually destined for nursing homes or assisted-living facilities.
I saw only one practical
solution to this situation. That is why I have created ElderCare
Management of Durham: A unique and personal approach to eldercare management.
Let
me assist you in locating local senior care resources. Utilize my expertise
in managing the health care of your elder.
