Care Management
- What does a care management assessment include?
Our assessment begins with a review of the caller’s concerns
followed by a visit with the care recipient in his or her
home. During this visit we use a variety of tools to assess
the patient’s condition and needs. Learn

- Why should I consider using a care manager?

all the care components and helps your family stay involved,
at whatever level is appropriate. Learn
more

- I live outside of Florida. Can Rona Bartelstone provide care management services for my family?
Yes. With a highly qualified network of care management providers,
Rona Bartelstone is uniquely positioned to provide services
on a national basis. Learn more
- Why should I involve strangers, when it is my family and I want to provide the care?
There are many ways of providing care. Sometimes it is better for a professional person to
attend to the complexities of accessing, coordinating and quality assuring the care, so that
you can remain in your primary relationship as son, daughter, sibling or other relationship.
This makes caring less stressful and more rewarding. Learn more
- Why should I pay someone to provide the care when I could do it?
Family members often have multiple roles. If you are working you might need to take time off
from work (there is a cost to that), you might need to travel by plane or car to be in the
same community as the care recipient (there is a cost to that), then you need to gather the
information about needs, search out the best resources for meeting the needs and coordinate
the care in conjunction with multiple doctors and other health and community providers
(there is a cost to that).
Or you can choose to work with a professional, who is objective, knows the resources,
entitlements and community services. We can help you to save valuable time away from work
and family because we know the complexities of providing the right care, how to access and
coordinate it, quickly and effectively. Both the dollar cost and the emotional strain are
less when you work with highly trained professionals to provide care. Learn more

Corporate Eldercare
- Why should corporations and employers think about Eldercare issues?
Eldercare will soon top childcare as a major concern for employees. Corporations who provide Eldercare programs
will have a value-added advantage in crowded marketplace. Additionally, it is estimated that the cost to US businesses in lost
productivity ranges from $11 – 29 Billion. Learn
more
- Why should attorneys, financial planners and accountants be concerned about eldercare?
Often you are the professionals who first become aware of the caregiving responsibilities of
families when you are assisting with planning for end of life care with legal documents, planning
for retirement or doing the taxes. At the same time you may learn about enormous medical expenses
or changes in their decision making capacity. Then as part of the eldercare team you can provide
a value added service to your clients, by referring them for care management services or offering
a program in house. You also help to limit your own liability when you have questions about a
client's capacity to be making legal or financial decisions, or if you have concerns about the
possibility of abuse, neglect or exploitation. Lastly, by incorporating care management as a
service offering to your clients and their families, you have the opportunity to do multigenerational
marketing to maintain the entire family in your book of business. Learn
more
- My company can't afford an eldercare benefit. Is there any other way that you can help us?
Yes, there are several ways in which we can support you and your employees. We can make information available
to your staff through "lunch and learn" programs in which we present information about aging issues
and family caregiving. These can be custom designed to meet the specific concerns of your staff. We
can also help staff to locate resources in another city through our Nationwide Care Management
Network. Learn
more
- I am part of a large membership organization and it seems that we all have parent care issues. Do
you work with membership groups or just employers?
We absolutely can work with membership organizations to provide the same types of benefits that we
provide to corporations. The size of your group and the type of service determines the costs. Learn
more
