Professional Care Management
Care involves medical monitoring, medication oversight, hands-on nursing, transportation to medical appointments and coordinated communication with families. Some situations require managing households, finances, and outside resources. Each plan is individualized and personalized to ensure superior care.
Family Care
Often times family members live in different states and are juggling busy work and personal lives. Care consultations are typically a single meeting that can include: a review of medical information, meeting the individual and their caregivers, collaborating with healthcare providers to translate complex medical situations and skillfully facilitating difficult conversations amongst family members.
In-Home Assessments
Assessments an in-depth look at an individual's physical, social, functional, emotional, and spiritual capacities. We request medical and medication information from healthcare providers and assess the living environment and the ability to accomplish daily living tasks. The information is compiled into a plan of care which provides the roadmap for future visits and ongoing care. Occasionally, in-home assessments are required when family members are exploring guardianship or other legal processes.
