RN Case Manager: The Registered Nurse (RN) will provide skilled nursing visits, support and teaching to you and your caregiver and act as coordinator of your care with physicians and other members of the interdisciplinary team. The Case Manager will keep your doctor regularly informed of your condition.

The medical director works with your attending physician and Case Manager to ensure that the medical care you receive is closely monitored and meets your ongoing needs.

Your physician will continue to prescribe medications for you and will be involved with approving any changes in your plan of care.

They may also assist you with problem-solving in a crisis, exploring financial needs, reviewing alternative living arrangements, funeral planning, healthcare decisions and utilizing other community resources.
