Life Journeys, LLC
Care Coordination
My name is Brenda Rose and I am a Registered Nurse who specializes in Care Management. I have experience as an Assisted Living Director of Nurses, Dementia Specific Care, Home Health Care, Nursing Facility Care, and past experience in the hospital and clinic. It is my privilege to work with Abigail Logan, BSW who also can help our clients through Healthcare Advocacy and navigation.
I founded Life Journeys in 2010 when I began seeing that there were many patients I was evaluating and assessing that were falling between the cracks of our healthcare systems. Once their Medicare services came to an end, their needs did not. I see many people who are making big decisions when they are experiencing major life changes, often related to health and safety.
Very Important***Although immediate needs are met, it just makes sense that if we need to look at the bigger picture together, so that we can make a more realistic plan for staying healthy and safe, remaining in control of choices, conserving assets for future needs, and being prepared for the changes that will be coming next.
Thanks for visiting!
