The health care and related services available in the Joplin Tri-State area can offer a great deal, if you know how to make them work for you. Unfortunately, most people are unaware of what benefits they could be receiving, or how to interact with the system to obtain the best services for their situation. Sherry Cole, owner and Geriatric Care Manager of Compassionate Care Senior Services, knows this system inside and out and can advocate for you or your loved ones to receive the highest and most compassionate levels of care obtainable and all coverages that your health insurance promises. Sherry can work with "case managers" from insurance companies, discharge planners in hospitals and rehabilitation facilities, administrators of nursing homes or retirement communities and with home care agencies to ensure that you receive the care you need and deserve. Geriatric Care Managers ensure that the needs of the client are foremost, rather than the needs of a facility or provider.
