Streamlined Appointment Scheduling

Professional help with navigating the healthcare system can get seniors the care they need faster. With streamlined appointment scheduling so they can start on a path to treatment and recovery.  

Better Communication
Between Providers

Care professionals focusing on care coordination also make sure no information slips through the cracks. Many seniors take multiple medications and visit several care providers and specialists to help with conditions. Our healthcare system traditionally relies on patients relaying information and updates to their care from one provider to the next. With care coordination, this responsibility moves to a professional committed to making all care smooth and transparent.

Improved Decision-Making Processes

For many conditions, there are several different courses of a treatment that a senior can choose from or combine. Weighing all the options to make a final decision can be an overwhelming experience, and a care coordinator can ease this by clearly explaining each path’s pros and cons to seniors and their loved ones. 

Help Navigating
Payment Options

Figuring out how to pay for treatments is another taxing aspect of healthcare navigation for seniors and their families. A care coordinator helps families navigate complex insurance options and payment assistance so they can afford the best care possible.
