Who calls whom
Without a case manager
The family sits in the middle, passing messages between everyone.
With one
The family talks to me, and I talk to everyone else.
It's a bit like renovating a house. You can hire the plumber, the electrician and the painter yourself and hope they turn up in the right order. Or you get a contractor who already knows who to call.
I'm the contractor, except I'm a nurse and the project is your mother's care.
What that covers
-
Care coordination
Doctors, specialists, home support and family working from one plan, with me keeping it current.
-
Advocacy
Someone to speak up for you in appointments and on the phone, and to explain afterwards what was said.
-
Medication review
A nurse's look at everything being taken: what each one is for and what to watch for, with questions taken back to the doctors who prescribed them.
-
Moves between hospital, home and residence
A discharge home, or a move into a residence, planned ahead.
-
Follow-up
Home visits and video check-ins, so I see changes as they happen.
-
More hands when needed
I don't sit with clients around the clock. When someone needs that, I arrange people who can.
How it starts
-
A 15-minute discovery call
Free. You tell me what's going on, and I tell you honestly whether I can help.
-
[First visit]
[What happens at the first meeting: where, how long, what you look at, what the family should have ready.]
-
[The plan, and after]
[What the client gets after the first visit, and how ongoing support works: how often, how they reach you.]
Tell me what's going on with your family.
