How Careplan Helps: Professional Mental Health and
Geriatric Care Services in Cleveland

Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment

Our comprehensive geriatric assessments look at the whole person—not just a diagnosis. We evaluate medical, cognitive, mental health, social, financial, and legal considerations. This evaluation helps to better understand your loved one’s needs and create an individualized care plan.

Care Coordination & Management

Managing doctors, medications, home care providers, therapies, and other services can quickly become overwhelming. With this in mind, our senior care managers and geriatric care professionals coordinate services, communicate with healthcare providers, oversee home care. In addition, they provide ongoing support for chronic health conditions and changing care needs.

Housing Options & Transitions

Choosing where an older adult should live is an important life decision. We provide guidance and hands-on assistance with aging in place, in-home care, independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, and memory care. Our team can help families evaluate options, arrange community tours, coordinate transitions, and assist with move planning.

Dementia & Memory Care

Caring for someone experiencing Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, or memory loss can be challenging for the entire family. Careplan provides dementia care planning, memory care guidance, behavior strategies, caregiver education, and family support designed around the individual’s needs, abilities, and quality of life.

Congratulations!

Bridget Ritossa is a Certified Care Manager and Licensed Social Worker. She has more than 30 years of experience working with older adults and families. Additionally, throughout her career, Bridget developed extensive knowledge and resources in the areas of aging, geriatric care, healthcare navigation, social work, and senior care planning. She gained these resources while working within two major hospital systems in Cleveland. These are two of the largest healthcare organizations in the country.

Above all, Bridget’s goal was to create a company that gives adults and their families the resources, education, advocacy, and knowledge they need to live well at every stage of life.

That vision remains at the heart of Careplan Care Managers. Furthermore, every individualized life care plan is designed around the unique needs, goals, preferences, and circumstances of the person receiving care.

Is Caring for an Aging Parent Becoming Overwhelming?

You’re not alone. Caring for an aging parent or loved one can quickly become overwhelming. This can feel like a full-time job especially when you’re balancing work, family, and other responsibilities. For example; Elder care coordination, senior care planning, medical navigation, mental health concerns, and dementia care all must be considered.</strong> In addition, home care and finding trusted senior living options also may be a challenge.

Careplan Care Managers provide the professional guidance families need to navigate these challenges with greater confidence. Whether you’re managing dementia or Alzheimer’s care, coordinating medical appointments, exploring long-term care options, developing a life care plan, supporting mental and emotional well-being, or living far away from your loved one, our certified care managers can help.

We work with families to identify needs, develop individualized care plans, coordinate resources, advocate for loved ones, and make informed decisions about their next steps.

Testimonial

“Bridget and Careplan were the single most important factor in helping me with my peace of mind as I was going through a very long process of taking care of my mother. They asisted me through her transition from her home to rehab, and finally to hospice. The guidance I received helped me wade through the incredibly confusing waters of the geriatric care system. Bridget’s knowledge of Medicare and Medicaid, and her personal experience with regional nursing homes, helped me make all the right decisions for my mother in an appropriate and timely manner. Without Careplan, and Bridget’s thoughtful assistance, I would have never known how to help my mother through this very challenging time. I recommend Careplan without reservation!”
