We can breakdown complex situations into understandable information and help to make the best decisions for your needs.
- Ongoing Management and Coordination of Care. Some clients may only require an assessment which will provide a roadmap for future care. Others may need ongoing care management. Some may choose to use a care manager monthly while others will do so for specific services or more complex issues only. Many families request for a care manager to coordinate all of the client’s legal, medical and social needs to alleviate stress.
- Coordinate Services with Other Members of the Health Care Team. Research shows that clients who receive assistance under a coordinated care system experience better outcomes across the full spectrum of aging. Our care manager’s medical expertise, professionalism, and overall healthcare understanding tend to result in more thorough answers from medical providers. We are then able to successfully report that information to concerned family members.
- Legal and Medical Liaison Service for Families at a Distance or Unavailable. Families living at a distance or otherwise unavailable are more susceptible to communication problems with medical providers and often feel “out of the loop” when it comes to the client’s well-being. Classy Care Management will bridge that gap by communicating with providers, scheduling appointments and transportation, and relaying information to family members.
- Care Transition Coordination. A transition of care is when a client moves between care settings, such as when a patient leaves the hospital and returns home or goes to a rehabilitation facility. Care transitions also occur when a client’s condition changes. Classy Care Management provides the coordination during care transitions that helps prevent problems such as medication errors, delay in treatment, or improper facility placement.
- Quality Assurance Monitoring at Acute and Long-Term Care Facilities. Without a medical background or sufficient time to regularly evaluate the care a loved one is receiving at a long-term care facility; family members can find comfort in receiving objective care evaluations. Such evaluations can be routine or on an as-needed basis to address concerns.
- Locate and Coordinate Community Resources. One of Classy Care Management’s primary objectives is to ensure that all clients are involved with available community resources to alleviate family stressors and financial burdens. These professional resources may include government, non-profit, and private programs.

Classy Care Management can provide objective, expert opinions regarding care options, which are often cited as a means to mediate disagreements among family members.
