Is managing your loved one’s care becoming too much to handle alone?

A geriatric care manager (also called an aging life care professional) assesses an older adult's medical, safety, and daily-living needs, builds a care plan, coordinates doctors and services, and monitors for problems over time. At Shakti, that role is filled by a registered nurse, so the clinical judgment, medication management, and red-flag detection come built in.

For most families, yes. A single avoided emergency room visit or hospitalization typically costs far more than ongoing RN care management, and proactive oversight prevents many of those crises in the first place. The bigger return is often the family's time, sleep, and peace of mind.

Home care provides hands-on help with bathing, dressing, meals, and companionship. RN care management sits above that: a clinician assesses the whole situation, builds and adjusts the plan, coordinates every provider, and catches medical problems early. Many families use both, with the RN care manager directing the care.

We help families understand and manage a wide range of age-related and chronic conditions, including mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease and other dementias, ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease), Huntington's disease, traumatic brain injury, stroke, cancer, congestive heart failure, chronic kidney and liver disease, COPD and emphysema, Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, chronic pain, and severe anxiety or depression. As a registered nurse, Subi reads the labs, reconciles the medications, and coordinates the specialists so the whole picture is managed, not just one diagnosis.

Nurse-led care management is typically billed hourly, as prepaid hour packages, or through a monthly subscription, and is not usually covered by insurance or Medicare. Shakti offers tiered options, from prepaid hours and monthly monitoring to full concierge management, so families can match the level of support to their situation. We will walk you through exact pricing on your first call.

Generally no. Nurse-led care management and concierge nursing are private-pay services and are not typically covered by Medicare or health insurance. That independence is the point: we answer only to your family, not to a payer. Many families find the cost is more than offset by the hospital stays and complications it prevents.

Shakti serves Atlanta and the surrounding areas of Georgia with in-home nurse care management and concierge nursing. Remote care management is also available for special circumstances, so families outside the immediate area can still get clinical oversight.
