    Care Coordination: A Trusted Advocate When You Can’t Be There

    Care coordination services are especially valuable when family members live out of town or have limited availability. These services, often led by a registered nurse or care manager, include:

    • Health assessments (in-person or virtual)
    • Scheduling doctor’s appointments and transportation
    • Medication reviews and care planning
    • Ongoing communication with health providers
    • Referrals to trusted community resources

    Pro tip: Many families use care coordination to reduce stress, prevent health complications, and avoid unnecessary ER visits.

    📱 Popular Tools Include:

    • Motion and fall detection sensors
    • Wellness alerts via mobile apps
