Your Care Coordinator is a Partner in Your Aging Journey

A Care Coordinator at Friends Life Care plays a crucial role in ensuring members receive personalized and comprehensive support for their health and well-being. Here are some key aspects of what a Care Coordinator does to help define and deliver your perfect recipe for vibrant aging.

Personalized Health Advocate: From the moment you join, a dedicated Care Coordinator becomes your health advocate. They get to know you and your needs on a personal level, visiting you before you ever need care at home. This relationship ensures that they can better anticipate your needs and provide tailored support.

Comprehensive Care Planning: Care Coordinators help you plan for long-term care by performing in-home safety assessments, evaluating your current health and well-being using industry-standard and proprietary assessments, and understanding your lifestyle preferences and future goals. They work with you to create a customized care plan with recommendation to fit your unique needs.

Coordination of Services: When you need in-home care because you have challenges with the activities of daily living (ADLs), your Care Coordinator arranges, schedules, and oversees care through a network of qualified providers. They ensure you receive the right support at the right time, helping to make the process as seamless and stress-free as possible.

Trusted Partner: Care Coordinators are highly trained professionals with backgrounds in nursing, social work, nutrition, occupational therapy, or other clinical areas. They take pride in being your trusted advocate, considering your best interests, helping you navigate the complexities of the healthcare system, and suggesting resources that may help you age independently in your own home.

Wellness and Prevention: Beyond managing health crises, Care Coordinators focus on wellness and prevention. They provide holistic assessments, advice, workshops, and other wellness offerings tailored to you. This proactive approach helps you maintain your health and independence. Friends Life Care’s philosophy on wellness and prevention is called:  VigR® Vitality, Independence, Growth, Resilience™.

So as part of Friends Life Care’s commitment to wellness, members have access to VigR® programming. The focus is on all the dimensions of holistic health. Various online and in-person activities and resources are made available to support and sustain a member’s well-being.
