Our licensed social worker and nurse care manager have the expertise to help put a plan into action. We research, coordinate, arrange, and oversee services so that you can feel confident and secure knowing your family member is receiving the best care possible.
Staying at home versus making a move. Coping with physical changes or memory loss. Difficulty driving or managing finances. Paying for care. Transitioning from the hospital or a rehab stay. These challenges can be overwhelming for anyone.
As an independent older adult, you want to age in your home with the comforts and familiarities you know, but that might become increasingly difficult should you have an accident or become ill. You might not have anyone to help care for you, or, if you do have family or friends who could help, you don’t want to burden them with your care.
As a caregiver, you may be concerned about helping an older adult in your life and helping them make the best healthcare and lifestyle choices for their situation. You may not be aware of available resources and supports, or you and your family might need guidance in understanding your options and making decisions.

Step 1: 15-Minute Complimentary Call
Call Iona’s Helpline at (202) 895-9448 and ask to sign up for a 15-minute complimentary phone call with an Aging and Caregiving Support Care Manager. Our team members will briefly assess your situation and explain how Aging and Caregiving Support can help.
Step 2: Initial Consultation
With your Aging and Caregiving Support Care Manager, you'll have the opportunity to thoroughly discuss your situation, ask questions, and share concerns or challenges. A consultation typically lasts 60-90 minutes and can take place at Iona, offsite (such as a home or hospital rehab facility), or over the phone or video. You’ll leave with advice, concrete next steps, and customized referrals that ease your stress and build your confidence.
Step 3: Ongoing Consultations
After your first consultation, you may find that you have additional questions or want to check in with your Aging and Caregiving Support Care Manager again. Perhaps your situation has even changed and you need new resources or strategies. Ongoing consultations provide support and reassurance.
Step 4: Care Management Facilitation
Our team has the expertise to put the care plan that you have developed together into action. We research, coordinate, arrange, and oversee services so that you can feel confident and secure that you or the older adult in your life are receiving the best care possible.
