We help families with many stressful situations and hard decisions they face in caring for an aging parent or spouse. This ranges from health-related tasks to coordinating services for urgent medical needs and concerns. We wear many hats, while providing information and resources, so families need not feel overwhelmed by their care responsibilities.
Modern health care has become complicated. Many providers and businesses have their own areas of expertise, and rarely share information. We work directly with these providers to coordinate services that might be needed…
We ease transitions from hospital to home.
We hire, train, and supervise.

All care providers need to work in unison for the benefit of older adults. We facilitate collaborations between medical providers, specialists, nonclinical partners in the community, and families to create a safety net for aging individuals. We work together with physicians and the entire care team to make sure medical orders and instructions are followed.
Caring for an aging adult is a challenging task that requires knowledge of physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health. When something unexpected happens, people who do not understand age-specific physical or medical issues, may suggest the wrong path. Consulting with an educated and experienced Care Manager is crucial for identifying problems and finding solutions.
Care Managers work with family, friends, and other caregivers to explain what an individual is dealing with and how things might change over time.
