Professional Referrals

Providing exceptional care for your patients or clients extends beyond the service you provide in your office. Often those patients or clients may look to you to make recommendations about their care.

It is important to have established relationships with providers you can trust to have your client’s best interests at heart.

Umbrella Care Management’s geriatric care managers are invaluable resources for some families – especially those separated by distance, in which family caregivers are unable to handle day-to-day care for their older relatives. Umbrella’s professionals are uniquely positioned to relieve some of the family caregivers’ burdens of caring for aging family members.

Whether you are an elder law attorney, financial advisor, or hospital discharge planner, Umbrella Care Management is here to offer its very best to your clients and their families!

To learn more about our patient advocacy and support services, call 845-723- 0536, email info@UmbrellaCM.com, or visit our CONTACT page.

 

SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS

Are you interested in having an Umbrella geriatric care manager speak at your next event?

Umbrella Care Management Co-Founder Barbara Wilhelmy is a Registered Nurse who has two decades of experience in case management and discharge planning. Equally as important, she has also been a caregiver to her 90-year-old grandmother and chronically ill, disabled father-in-law for many years. Her experiences on both sides of the aisle have given her a unique understanding of the complexities involved in navigating the worlds of medical care, social programs, and entitlement eligibility.

Barbara is an experienced, enthusiastic, and engaging speaker on geriatric care and other topics concerning the health and well-being of seniors, like handling the challenges of dementia or MS care.

What are older adults interested in?

Today’s seniors are seeking age-relevant information that is often overlooked, like: disease processes, wills & estate planning, treatment decisions, and options for aging well… just to name a few.

Contact Umbrella Care Management by calling 845-723-0536, emailing info@UmbrellaCM.com, or visiting our CONTACT page to learn more about booking Barbara for your next event in the Hudson Valley and New York metro areas.

"Mom is settled in and thankfully doing very well. She even said it was like being on vacation.
 
No further assistance is needed and I am more than satisfied with your care management services. Without your efficient and skillful navigation of the healthcare system and challenging family dynamics, Mom would probably be suffering from isolation daily with no diagnosis and scary rapid decline. Because of your work, Mom is thriving.
 
Thank you for helping my mom and my family."

 


 

ANONYMOUS

"I’m so grateful to have found this service. My father-in-law was caring for my mother-in-law with Alzheimer’s and the situation was becoming scary as they are both in their 80s. We live 4 hours away and I didn’t know what to do or how to get them help."


 

LAURA S.

"We would be lost in this phase of our lives without the assistance from Diane and Umbrella Care. She is truly an advocate as well as a professional, and even if we did live locally we could never do what she does for our parents. "


 

ANONYMOUS

"I cannot say enough about Umbrella Care. My father had progressive dementia and lived alone in Long Beach, New York . Being over two hours away made life difficult, to say the least. "


 

MIKE I

"My family would be at a complete loss of what to do without the expert care and guidance from Umbrella Care Management. Fortunately, a longtime friend referred Maria and Umbrella to my family, and we couldn’t be more grateful."


 

TEAM MOM

"I live 4 hours from my father and when his care needs became more than I could handle from that distance, I contacted Umbrella Care."


 

MJ

"I have been using Umbrella Care Management for two to three months now. It is excellent. They keep up with the completion of important items. The staff members are excellent. Umbrella Care Management is an excellent choice."


 

WALTER

"I was trying to get my aunt into a community, and I was on a waiting list for nine months. Vicky was constantly giving them updates, checking on availability, and keeping me apprised of the whole process without me having to do the legwork, which was the most important. Not to mention I really don’t know what legwork to do other than to call the community. Vicky really handled the entire process. It was a breeze; I’m so thankful for them."


 

VITA

"Umbrella Care Management is wonderful. They achieved the exact goals that I had needed them to. My uncle is in New York, and I am in Florida. He has no family up there, but he needed to be discharged to an assisted living because he couldn’t go back to his apartment...."


 

DEBORAH

"I cannot imagine having been able to get to this point, without more damage, had we not had Umbrella Care’s help."


 

MIKE

"If (my friend) had had the unlimited assistance of family and friends all this time, the results could not have been any better. I am profoundly grateful to Umbrella for what they have accomplished."


 

ANDREW KULL

"Umbrella Care Management was incredibly responsive and very resourceful. I called them on a Saturday and they called me right back. I feel very fortunate to have come across them. They were able to find a resource for my mother who was at a distance in a way that I would never have been able to find it. Because of Umbrella, I was able to get peace of mind."


 

MICHELLE

"(Umbrella) did an amazing job. Getting Medicaid for my mother was a very confusing process for us. The answers that (Umbrella) provided really helped me and directed me to the right path."


 

KATHY

"Umbrella Care Management has the most wonderful people you would ever want to meet. They have been so helpful to me that I would recommend them to anybody; I am so grateful to them."

“5 Stars is not enough! If I could give Umbrella 10 Stars I would! Barbara has angel wings and has opened so many doors for me and my brother. EVERYONE in their lifetime should meet someone like Barbara.”


 

LUSI

“Umbrella got me through the Medicaid process in very short order, and even coordinated with the local nursing homes to find my father the most appropriate facility without unnecessary delay. It just made my life so much easier. I have nothing but good things to say about Umbrella Care Management; they’re all absolutely fantastic.”


 

DOUG

”We just needed someone to help us navigate everything that was going, and to act as an advocate for mom since none of us could be there. My mother liked Barbara right away, and she was very helpful to all of us.”

“Not only has (Umbrella Care Management) steered my aunt (who lives in New York City) through the healthcare system and subsequent therapy so that she is now back in her own apartment, but the caregivers have also become very kind and trusted confidants to her.”


 

ROBIN COOKE-HURLE

“Umbrella Care Management definitely goes over and above what it has to do to help. The team is wonderful in helping people with their elderly care.”
