Health advocacy

Our Health Advocate and staff help our existing clients better communicate with their doctors, as well as formulate key questions to ask medical professionals to ensure they understand instructions when leaving their offices.

Our Health Advocate and trained cadre of volunteers also encourages seniors to go to see their doctors in the first place, as well as advocate for them when they are going into the hospital. It always helps a patient to let medical personnel know someone is watching. When a senior comes home from a hospital, we are there to make sure they have what they need. We will pick up medications and go shopping, as well as provide emotional reassurance and a chance to vent about their experience.
