Care Management
Care Management can support local families and families coordinating from a distance. It provides nonclinical local advocacy, accompaniment, coordination, and practical follow-through.
For families nearby and farther away
A local family may need one person to organize the moving parts and stay present across providers. A family coordinating from a distance may need a trusted local advocate at appointments, in hallways, and on the phone. Care Management can serve either situation when the person's needs, service fit, and current availability align.
How a request is reviewed
Each request is reviewed against the person's needs, service fit, and current availability. Submitting a request does not create or confirm a Care Management engagement. Care Management is a private-pay service with a written scope agreed before work begins.
An accepted engagement starts with an in-person assessment of the whole picture, including medical coordination, daily routines, the home or community setting, and what the family is trying to protect. From there, Stacie and the family agree on a scope and a reporting cadence before the work begins. Many engagements start in a crisis, such as a hospitalization, a sudden decline, or a plan that just failed, and settle into steadier coordination once the immediate problem is contained.
Advocacy and accompaniment
An agreed engagement may include attending selected conversations or visits, organizing questions, observing practical concerns, and keeping the older adult's priorities visible.
- Hospital and rehabilitation advocacy
- Accompaniment for agreed appointments, visits, or transitions
- Local advocacy for families nearby or coordinating from a distance
Coordination and project management
Care management is the project management of a person's care, not the care itself. Within a written scope, Stacie organizes next actions, communication, and transition tasks across the physicians, communities, attorneys, and family members already involved. This creates one point of contact where there used to be five. One engagement might mean arranging an overdue specialist visit, untangling a medication schedule with the treating providers, or preparing benefits paperwork for the family's attorney, depending on what the situation requires. When hands-on caregiving is needed, Stacie connects families with providers who deliver it and keeps an eye on how it is going.
- Discharge and transition planning
- Updates agreed in the written scope
- Tracking decisions, questions, and practical next actions
A clear nonclinical boundary
Care Management is nonclinical coordination and advocacy. It does not provide diagnosis, treatment, hands-on personal or medical care, or emergency response. It does not replace treating professionals, legal advice, financial advice, or a benefits determination. When a situation calls for hands-on care, Stacie refers families to professionals who provide it.
Stacie is also a certified professional guardian, a Florida credential that reflects formal training in decision-making standards for vulnerable adults.

Placement and paid consulting remain separate paths, so you can begin with the guidance that fits the decision in front of you.
