Professional

A Professional Care Manager is a health and human service professional with a specialized focus on issues related to aging and elder care. A care manager works privately with older adults and their families to create a plan of care that meets the needs of the older adult. The care manager will meet with the senior and their family to determine what the senior's needs are and to learn what resources and options are available to meet those needs

Our Care Managers work with professionals in two different ways. Some professionals in the community simply use our service as an extension of their business. Others, receive referrals from us for services outside our expertise.

As an extension of your business:  Undoubtedly, as a professional you are looked upon by seniors and/or their family as someone they have already developed a level of trust with and respect your advise. However, your business has a focus and it's most likely you are not able to provide the level of care a Professional Care Manager can. Professionals like yourself have partnered with a Next Stage Planning Care Manager to offer our services as a referral or as an extension of your services. Some professionals in this relationship consists of:

  • Medical Professionals (Doctors, Nurses, Hospitals, etc)
  • Attorneys
  • Financial Planners
  • Accountants
  • Trust Officers
  • Home Health Agencies (medical and non-medical)
  • Funeral Homes
  • Independent and Assisted Living Facilities

Many services are outside our expertise and we rely on others to help us complete our care plans. Many of the professionals we work with in this capacity also see the need for our services with their patients/customers and refer the aging adult to our Care Managers to provide complete Care Management or any of our other services. Some examples of these professionals are:

  • Home Medical Equipments
  • Pharmacists
  • Medical Specialitsts (podiatrists, optometrists, dentists, etc)
  • Independent and Assisted Living Facilities
  • Skilled Nursing Facilities
  • Home Maintenance Services (plumbers, yard work, electricians, etc)
