Care Coordination That Brings Peace of Mind
For Medical Providers, Discharge Planners, and Social Workers
I can help you ease the transitions of care. You have many responsibilities to juggle as you prepare patients and residents to leave the skilled medical setting and finish their recovery safely at home. It’s hard to know what the family members can realistically manage, how well the patient and family will adjust to the new medication routine, safe moving around, proper nutrition and hydration, a watchful eye for all their needs after they go home.
Continuity in care at home is paramount to ensure that the patient does not end up back in the hospital a few weeks later.
I am available in case of discharge happening over the weekend or after hours.
What assistance clients receive once they back at home
- Monitoring of signs and symptoms of potential relapse
- In-home medication management and follow-up
- Family caregiver education and support
- Advocacy with physicians to ensure follow-up appointments
- Multiple care providers coordination
- On-going care management
- Facilitation of family meetings
Should you be concerned that a patient needs additional support to avoid a readmission, give me a call 479-547-1941.
All services are private pay and some, depending on insurance coverage, may be reimbursed by long-term care policies.
