The Care Consultant

412-313-4383

The Care Consultant is a nurse who serves as your personal  medical advocate and liaison to you or your loved one while in a medical facility.

Although medical facilities supply nurses and other healthcare workers to care for you or your loved one it is simply not enough. This has been proven by an increase in medication errors ,  deadly falls, slow recovery rates , misdiagnosis, neglect and even  patient deaths. Personnel  shortages, the increased use of medical staffing companies to supply workers who are not familiar with patients,  high patient to nurse and  aide ratios and burnout are many times the cause of poor care and fatalities.
