FAQs

Common Questions about Ongoing Care Management

How is this different from home care or home health care?

Home care provides non-medical daily support, while home health care delivers skilled medical services such as nursing and therapy. Care management provides coordination and oversight, helping ensure all services work together, needs are reassessed, and concerns are addressed early. Many clients use a combination of these services.

How often will you visit?

Weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly, based on your situation. We customize frequency and can adjust as circumstances change.

What if my parent doesn't want someone checking on them?

We approach this respectfully, explaining we're here to support THEIR goals (like staying home), not take over. Many who initially resist become comfortable once they meet us.

I live out of state. Can this work?

Absolutely. Many clients are long-distance families. We serve as your local presence in Tampa Bay with regular updates and immediate communication if concerns arise.

What geographic area do you serve?

All of Pinellas County and Tampa Bay, Florida, including St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Largo, Dunedin, Palm Harbor, Tarpon Springs, and surrounding Tampa Bay communities. We also support clients nationwide virtually.

Is there a minimum commitment?

Yes. Ongoing care management requires an in-person visit once per month.

What if my loved one needs to be hospitalized?

We transition to crisis navigation and hospital advocacy. We're already familiar with the full picture, which makes crisis management more effective.

Do you accept insurance or Medicare?

We don't bill Medicare directly, but long-term care insurance often covers our services. We provide detailed documentation for reimbursement.

Client Testimonials

"I cannot say enough about the incredible support we received from Kelly during one of the most challenging times in our lives. As my mom faced serious health issues and the transition into memory care, Kelly was truly a guiding light. Her knowledge, compassion, and steady guidance made all the difference. She navigated the complexities of the healthcare system with ease, ensuring my mom received the best possible care every step of the way. Because of Kelly, I was able to focus on what mattered most, spending meaningful time with my mom rather than feeling overwhelmed by logistics and decisions. Kelly is not only highly skilled at what she does, but she genuinely cares. That combination is rare and invaluable."

Niki S.

"I had no idea there were professionals like Kelly and A Silver Lining to help with the monumental tasks ahead of me. I cannot express the amount of peace of mind Kelly has brought me during this difficult time. Her caring insight, professionalism and vast knowledge of the medical systems made everything run so smoothly to get my mom the help and care she needed. And the ongoing support has been phenomenal."

Kim M.

"Kelly is an amazing aging life care manager. I lived out of state when my father had a medical episode in Florida. She helped work through the litany of medical tests and what they meant. She gave recommendations on next steps. When I needed someone to go with my dad to a doctor appt, she was there to advocate. Being so far away, I was at loss. She calmed me. Clear communication. No sugar coating but very caring in voice. Highly detailed but also not overwhelming. She was the bright spot in this dark period."

Trish H.

"Kelly is fantastic. She is reliable and communicative and she really cares , not only for the client themselves but for the clients whole family. She navigates difficult situations with grace. We are so grateful to have Kelly helping out with my grandmother as she recovers from her stroke."
