How Does A Family Start the Process of Managed Care for Adults?

Our care management process begins with a comprehensive assessment. This assessment identifies your loved one’s physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs. Once we learn more about your loved one and your family, we create a care plan to address short-term and long-term needs. Next, we will discuss the options available for your loved one with you and your family.

Care management services can include a variety of things, from assessing nursing homes to choosing the right physical therapist. A key component for older adults is care coordination, which ensures the patient’s needs are met on time.

In our highly fragmented healthcare system, communications among providers is difficult. We not only ensure clear communication between patients, providers, and family members, we supervise the care, advocate for the patient at all times and guide you through the process.
