This kind of advocacy is also crucial for when you need an advocate for a loved one in a different city. On several occasions, my family has used geriatric care managers, who were able to be there to represent the interests of our out of town family members, and with whom we could communicate on a regular basis. Their services can cover a wide range (even down to accompanying my aunt, who had Alzheimer's, to and from my father's funeral.)
Thanks for following up on this subject and identifying the Aging Life Care Association as the place to look first. I wonder if there are a range of prices associated with this work. Sounds expensive.

I figured--sounded like the same service, and a much better name.
