What services does IKOR® provide?
IKOR® offers a variety of services to effectively address every medical, environmental and psycho-social need of seniors and the disabled. Our comprehensive solution involves services such as Patient Advocacy, Electronic Medical Records storage ( MedikorTM), Telemedicine, Professional Guardianship, POA, routine bill payment services, as well as Assessment and Recommendations to address every aspect of life.
How does your service work?
We begin our work with a detailed interviewing and assessment process to understand our client's needs. This first step may include a meeting with the client
and their family members.
Objective information is collected through the initial assessment and used to formulate recommendations that address the emotional and physical needs of our
clients; as well as the living arrangements that might work best within the limitations we have found.
The RN Patient Advocate then creates and puts into action both short-term and long-term strategic plans. These plans often include the team efforts of the
Personal Needs Coordinator.
The IKOR® team continues to monitor services being rendered to make sure that our clients continue to receive high quality service and
support, and proactively recommend modifications when needed.
