What is Care Coordination?
​Care coordination is a personalized service in which a dedicated care coordinator helps individuals manage and navigate their healthcare needs. This includes scheduling medical appointments, communicating with healthcare providers, assisting with medication management, handling important health-related documents, and helping them transition back home. Our care coordination services are designed to provide comprehensive support to individuals and families, ensuring care is delivered to support your physical, emotional, and social well-being. We aim to provide you with the extensive support you need to effectively manage your health and wellness.

Arranging Transportation: We know getting to appointments can be challenging. Our team will help coordinate reliable transportation, so you can focus on your health without worrying about logistics.
-
Connecting with Healthcare Providers: Whether you’re looking for a specialist, a new primary care physician, or other healthcare services, we help connect you with the right providers for your unique needs.
-
Accompanying Clients to Medical Appointments: When needed, our care coordinators provide more than just scheduling support—we accompany you to your medical appointments. This ensures you’re not navigating healthcare alone and gives you extra support.
-
Assisting with Applications and Documents: Filling out healthcare-related applications and documents can be overwhelming, but we’re here to help. Whether it’s insurance claims, medical history forms, or specialist referrals, our team assists you in completing these forms accurately and efficiently. We work to simplify the process, reduce stress, and ensure nothing important is overlooked so you can focus on your health and not the paperwork.

Advocating for Your Health and Wellness: We advocate on your behalf to ensure your health and wellness needs are met.

Medication Pickup/Drop-off: Managing prescriptions can be a hassle, especially when you have a busy schedule or mobility challenges. We offer a convenient medication pickup and drop-off service to ensure you never miss a dose.

Navigating School Issues (for Families with Minors):
For families with minors, managing school-related concerns can be stressful, especially when balancing health and other personal responsibilities. We assist in navigating these challenges by working directly with schools to address issues like special education needs, attendance, or academic concerns. Our goal is to ensure your child’s educational needs are met, helping them succeed in school while providing you with the support and advocacy necessary to address any obstacles they may face.
