Questions & Answers
|
|
Q:
|
What advice would you give to a customer looking to hire a company like yours?
|
|
A:
|
Take advantage of the free consultation to discuss your needs. Be honest about your needs, your loved one's needs, and how much you are willing to do yourself. I am willing to plan the care and train you to save you money. View their website.
High hourly rates do not mean better. Ten letters behind the name does not mean better.

|
Q:
|
What separates your company from the competition?
|
|
A:
|
We are a turn-key operation so the consumer does not have to spend alot of time searching for individuals that do each piece. There are three basic pieces: Home assessment and modification; Care planning and management; and Home technology. We do all three pieces as part of one overall plan. We are the only care management company that will train you to coordinate, plan, and manage your loved one's care. Most agencies want to sell care management hours. We want to sell independence and autonomy for the family and cared -for person. We also have computer care stations and care management software available for do-it-yourselfers. We love do-it-yourself people!

|
Q:
|
What questions do customers most frequently ask you? What is your answer?
|
|
A:
|
Many families do not know where to start nor what questions to ask. I use the free consultation call to listen to the caller and their care issues. After discussing the kinds of things I can do for them I urge them to visit my website at www.behome4ever.com whee I quite a bit of useful information and white paper downloads.
Second: Why do I have to pay to have someone watch mom sleep. My answer, maybe you don't. Let's monitor and find out if mom is truly sleeping.

|
|
Q:
|
Does your company offer discounts to senior citizens or veterans?
|
|
A:
|
Everybody should be able to afford care management when they need it. I keep my rates well below all other agencies so that I can be afforded by the maximum number of people. If you are struggling to pay I will work with you.
|
|
|
Q:
|
Is your company a member of any associations?
|
|
A:

I am a professional member of the Aging Life Care Association which was formerly the National Association of Professional Geriatric Care Managers. I try to keep my association membership minimal because they have significant dues that must be paid by my hourly rate.

Thomas M. Lorenz, Professional Care Manager
Tom Lorenz, Professional Care Manager, is the founder and owner of Be Home 4Ever, Inc. See www.behome4ever.com.
I am a senior care planner, coordinator and technology coach that will help you plan your loved one’s care and find the services they need to live in a care setting of their choosing. I work independently with individuals and company employee assistance plans. I don't consider any task too big or too small.
?I understand the difficulties families face when suddenly presented with an unanticipated care situation. It often becomes an impossible task to balance work schedules, family needs, budgets, and after all of these considerations and a hard workday, there is still the difficulty of finding and interviewing service providers. I was inspired to create BeHome4Ever when my mother needed care and all of her children, including me, were located out of town. I recall looking in the phone book and seeing much of what she needed but not being able to find anyone we could trus

Testimonials
Tom took it upon himself to assist me in the care of my total care dependent mother in areas where I had no experience. I am truly grateful for Tom's help and support during a very trying time.
Daniel H. – Graham, NC 27258
"In working with Tom I came to believe that he is very knowledgeable about not just his business but the people he serves. And it goes even beyond that to being a compassionate and caring person. I interviewed Tom on my radio program, The McCarthy Report, and he was an excellent guest. His voice is strong, his delivery sounds professional and he was prepared to the hilt. I do recommend Tom both as a professional business operator and as a great radio guest. I certainly plan to work with Tom more in the future."
