My name is Elizabeth, although I’ve been called Betsy my entire life. I have been a nurse for 20 years, specializing in geriatrics. About 12 years ago I was introduced to a key aspect in the healthcare profession called Care Management or Aging Life Care Professional. This job has become my passion and purpose. I honestly think of myself as a professional family member and treat all of my clients like they are part of my own family. I have lived in Monmouth County my entire life and know a wide range of medical professionals. I can provide you with solid recommendations for services ranging from home health aide companies to handyman services. As a small business, I can provide you with personalized care. I want to know how your loved one lived their lives in the past, so I can better take care of them in the present. As a child of aging parents (my mom and dad will deny that) and a mother of 3, I know the challenges we all face trying to provide for our parents and still taking care of our own families. I want to help bridge that gap and take some of the pressure off you. My mission is to have an individual client centered approach to the care of my clients and be a proactive care partner in their lives. I believe in taking a holistic approach when assessing the client's well being. I’m dedicated to ensuring my clients have a quality of life that is meaningful to them, while providing support during health care challenges. For family members that live apart from their loved ones, I am your eyes and ears. I believe communication is the key for family members not being able to see their loved one regularly. My role as a Care Manager includes advocating for my clients, coordinating services inside and outside the home, identifying needs/concerns then communicating a plan to address them to the client and their families.
