Advocacy For Patients & Families
Our geriatric care managers ask doctors the tough questions and fight for your loved one’s best care. Our foremost responsibility is to advocate in the best interest of your loved one and your family. Advocacy includes regular communication with physicians and primary medical providers who have great influence over your loved one’s quality of life. READ MORE

Ongoing Management & Coordination Of Care
Some patients may only require an assessment, which provides a roadmap for future care. Others may need ongoing care management. Some may choose to use a care manager a few hours a month while others will do so for specific services or more complex issues only. Many caregivers request that care managers coordinate all of the patient’s medical and social needs to alleviate stress.

“Age In Place” Solutions
“Age in place” has become a prominent phrase as baby boomers age and long-term assisted living housing is at a premium. Age in place simply means finding a way for older adults to stay at home rather than moving to a long-term care facility. However, our care managers are well versed in technology, home modification, home care, and durable medical equipment solutions that often offer a viable option to seniors who prefer to age in place.

Schedule & Accompany Patients To Appointments; Accurately Relay Information
Though families living at a distance from their aging loved ones most often use our scheduling service, local caregivers see the same benefit from the presence of an Umbrella care manager at patients’ medical appointments. Our care managers’ medical expertise, professionalism, and overall healthcare acumen tend to result in more thorough and thoughtful answers from medical providers. Our care managers are then able to succinctly convey that information to concerned family members.

Liaison Service For Families At A Distance Or Otherwise Unavailable
Families living at a distance or otherwise unavailable are even more susceptible to communication problems with medical providers and often feel “out of the loop.” Umbrella care managers bridge that gap by communicating with providers, scheduling and accompanying patients to appointments, and relaying information to family members.

Mediate Family Disagreements Regarding Care Options
Caring for aging loved ones creates inordinate stress on family members. Umbrella care managers can provide objective, expert opinions regarding care options, which are often cited as a means to mediate disagreements among family caregivers.

"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

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

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.”
