We are Experts on Aging. We support family/loved ones who are dealing with chronic illness. We use a Nursing rehab focus to plan care and optimize client care.
--Starts with an in-home evaluation/record review & construct a Plan of Care ("life plan") to address issues/problems that are noted or likely to occur.
--The Goals of care are informed by the client's wishes.
--We do a medication review (most elderly people are over-medicated).
--We advise the caregiver as to ways to manage the care of their loved one themselves, and be available to them to coach/support them as the Plan of Care unfolds.
--We advocate and coordinate care for acutely ill/injured clients in hospital, rehab, or nursing home settings
--We advocate for our clients to the insurance carrier, including insurance appeals for denial of care
--We partner with Elder and Estate Attorneys to predict future care needs, risk management, and access to entitlements (e.g., Medicaid, Veterans Benefits)
--We refer/recommend facilities and providers, and assist in negotiating the cost of post-acute care, nursing home/skilled care facilities, and home health agencies
--We recommend ancillary providers: specialty physicians, medical equipment providers, alternative healing providers, contractors for home modification, daily money managers, certified senior real estate providers, senior move-management specialists, etc.
--We assist clients to "Age In Place" by setting up technology-enabled in-home monitoring of blood pressure, body weight, etc., and medication adherence
--We provide professional training to Registered Nurses and Medical Case Managers upon request
--We act as an expert witness in catastrophic injury and malpractice cases involving nursing care in long-term care settings
