Creative, Compassionate, & Comprehensive Plans for Aging
ElderCare Connections
We provide geriatric care throughout the Fredericksburg, Virginia region
ElderCare Connections has the expertise and resources to provide personalized care plans that both preserve the dignity and self-esteem of older adults while ensuring their safety and comfort. Our mission is to improve the quality of life for seniors while minimizing the stress for those who care for them.
We are advocates, liaisons, and care coordinators. We help seniors and their families navigate the journey of aging and find creative solutions that allow them to age well, not old.
Whether you're looking for care for a loved one or are planning ahead for your own aging journey, the guidance of a professional Geriatric Care Manager can help you and your family meet the challenges of caregiving with peace of mind.
With over 35 years of experience, our care team is well established in the community. Our Geriatric Care Manager is both a Registered Nurse and Certified Case Manager, making her the most experienced GCM in the area.
Geriatric Care Management is not "one-size-fits-all," so neither are our care plans. We assess and incorporate the needs and wishes of your loved one into their care.
ElderCare Connections does not receive referral compensation from
any facility or program. We only recommend what is truly the best for your loved one's quality of life.

The ElderCare Blog
Taking from her experiences as a Certified Geriatric Care Manager, Registered Nurse, and daughter, Meg shares valuable knowledge about aging and caregiving for seniors, their families, and their caregivers.
If you are looking for someone to help you navigate life with an aging or disabled relative or friend, contact ElderCare! Valerie and Meg are warm, professional, knowledgeable and so, so helpful to caregivers.
My mental health improved 100% once we engaged them as a resource. After each appointment with my sister, Meg provides a detailed, observant report on her physical and mental health and well-being and is easily available for follow-up questions. She has a warm relationship with my sister, who very much enjoys her visits, even when Meg is urging her to move more! She is also a great liaison between us and the staff at the long-term care facility.
