Senior Care Coordination Services
What Is Senior Care Coordination?
Senior care coordination is the proactive management and organization of all aspects of an elderly person’s care, encompassing medical, social, and emotional needs. Part of a collaborative process between the person cared for, their loved ones, and an elderly care coordinator, it involves a thorough assessment, planning, and ongoing oversight to ensure the best possible quality of life—and it doesn’t just stop at home care.
At Nova Home Care, we offer a comprehensive range of non-medical home care services for seniors and people with disabilities. Still, we understand that a client’s needs can extend beyond simple care and require the attention of specialized medical personnel such as nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, or psychotherapists. Seniors often have complex and evolving care requirements, including medical appointments, medication management, and emotional support. For family members or loved ones supporting their care, communicating with different agencies and specialists, managing an appointment calendar (including transportation), and keeping up with paperwork, bills, prescriptions, and other bureaucratic demands can be challenging. That’s why care coordination is essential to provide seniors with a higher quality of life, enhance their independence, and reduce the burden on family members.
Our dedicated senior care coordinators collaborate with you to ensure that all aspects of your loved one’s care are seamlessly integrated and customized to their specific requirements. As an established home care agency with connections and partnerships across Arizona, Indiana, Minessota, Colorado, and Connecticut, you can trust Nova Home Care to organize a care plan that ties together everything you need from a single point of contact.

How It Works
Setting up a care plan starts with filling out a referral form with some basic information about your case. Then, an experienced representative from Nova Home Care will be in touch to get you started on your care journey. It typically follows a step-by-step process:
- Consultation: We start by understanding your loved one’s needs and preferences, with considered input from the client—if the client cannot communicate effectively, then their loved one or family member can serve as their proxy.
- Assessment: A comprehensive evaluation is conducted to identify areas requiring care coordination.
- Custom Care Plan: We create a tailored care plan that covers all aspects of a client’s care.
- Implementation: Our team ensures every aspect of the care plan is executed effectively.
- Ongoing Monitoring: We continually assess and adjust the plan as needed to provide the best care possible.
What Does Senior Care Coordination Cost?
Nova Home Care’s services are fully covered by Medicaid. While this includes care coordination services, certain skilled medical services or services from partner agencies may fall outside your state’s Medicaid coverage or incur additional costs.
When you choose Nova Home Care for your care needs, our care coordination will liaise with all relevant state, federal, and partner agencies to streamline costs and make sure that you get all the benefits you may be eligible for.
