Multiple medications. Discharge plans. Safety concerns. Sibling disagreements. When it all starts happening at once, knowing where to begin can feel impossible. Our care management services help you pause, prioritize, and make a plan. We guide each step, fill in the knowledge gaps, and keep everyone focused on the main goal: protecting the well-being of someone you care deeply about.

Your Personal Advocate in a Complicated System

Our care managers serve as professional advocates and navigators for older adults and their families. We coordinate and oversee the many moving parts of care, so you don’t have to. The end result is improved quality of life and independence for the seniors we serve, and relief for the family members who love them.

Our care managers:

  • Arrange and manage health and social services
  • Monitor ongoing care needs and recommend adjustments
  • Advocate for the individual’s best interests
  • Coordinate communication between doctors, caregivers, and family
  • Help navigate challenging transitions and decisions

Who Can Benefit From Care Management Services?

Our services are flexible and designed to support many different complex situations. We frequently help:

  • Individuals who want a knowledgeable advocate and care coordinator
  • Families who live out of town and need local oversight for a loved one
  • Professionals, such as trust officers or HR representatives, seeking care support for clients or employees

If you’re unsure whether care management is right for your situation, give us a call. We’re happy to talk it through.

What Our Clients Are Saying

“We can’t say enough about what you have meant to Linda and I. The care you have given us is amazing. The peace of mind has allowed us to live a wonderful life. We thank you and CCM so much.”
— Fred and Linda Peacock

“At the time I used the services of Continuum Care Management, my 93 year old mother had suffered three falls, each one progressively worse. The Care Managers (at CCM) are professionals with excellent communication skills who take initiative when appropriate. I honestly don’t know what I would have done without this service. Having time to do research and make plans in a reasonable time frame enabled us to make the best decision about our mother’s care. So, I am very grateful that we found Continuum Care Management, and recommend them highly.”
— Susan Klein
