Care Management Referrals for Professionals
When a client's care needs outrun what your office can coordinate on its own, Alenta works alongside you as an independent geriatric care management professional — assessing needs, coordinating providers, monitoring changes, and documenting the work in a way that supports your role, whatever that role is.
Elder law and trust/estate attorneys
Care assessments that support planning documents, capacity-related observations shared appropriately, and a neutral third-party professional for families who disagree about next steps.
Guardians, trustees, and fiduciaries
Independent care coordination and monitoring for the people you're responsible for, with clear written documentation appropriate for a fiduciary file.
Discharge planners and rehabilitation teams
A receiving professional who picks up where the hospital or rehab facility leaves off, so a discharge plan actually holds up once someone is home.
Physicians and social workers
An extra set of eyes between visits — coordinating home services, monitoring for changes, and relaying what's happening day to day.
Home-care agencies and other referral sources
A partner who coordinates the broader care picture around the hands-on care your agency already provides, without competing for that work.
How a referral typically works
Referrals usually start with a call describing the situation. From there, engagements typically follow a clear pattern:
- Defined scope. A written scope of services describes whether the engagement is a one-time assessment, ongoing management, or a specific project.
- Assessment. A comprehensive evaluation of medical, cognitive, functional, safety, and family factors establishes a documented baseline.
- Recommendations. Findings and next steps are shared with the client, family, and referring professional as authorized, in plain and factual language.
- Ongoing reporting. For continuing engagements, written updates are provided at an agreed frequency, appropriate for a client file or care record.
- Independence. No referral fees are accepted from home care agencies, facilities, or other providers, so recommendations reflect the client's interest.
Communication, authorization, and conflicts
Because this work involves personal and health information, communication with a referring professional is limited to what's authorized and relevant to that professional's role. Where a client has capacity, their preferences guide what's shared and with whom; where a guardian or agent under a power of attorney is involved, that person's authorization governs.
Independence matters here too: recommendations about providers, facilities, or services are made on the merits, not influenced by any referral relationship, so a professional relying on those recommendations can trust the reasoning behind them.
Geographic reach
In-person work is available in Greater Philadelphia and along Pennsylvania's Main Line. For clients and professional teams located elsewhere, coordination continues virtually — including case conferences, written reports, and coordination calls — so distance doesn't have to mean losing oversight of a client's situation.
