After the initial phone interview, you will personally meet with a Dobson RN Nurse Care Coordinator. Together, we will discuss what services you are looking for, how often care is needed, how Dobson can help you with your needs, and then develop a care plan.

Matching Your Needs with a Caregiver

Once the care plan has been completed, Dobson Healthcare will match your needs with the appropriate caregiver. This is completed by our Recruitment & Scheduling Coordination Team working together with the RN Nurse Care Coordinators to determine the best fit caregiver based on your needs.

Routine Care Conferences

Throughout the duration of care, you will always have access to your Care Coordination Team 24/7. A RN Nurse Care Coordinator will also visit you periodically to see how your services are going. Routine Care Conferences can include all healthcare providers, professionals, the family, the client, and our Care Coordination Team. If caring needs change, we are able to make them swiftly because of our open communication lines with all who are involved in the process.

Case Managers, Discharge Planners, or Healthcare Providers

At Dobson, our process of providing care is to make sure your mind is put at ease. We have realistic turnaround times for client conversion and scheduling needs with all care decisions made with fiscal responsibility. If you would like to refer a client, please call our RN Nurse Care Coordinators at 866-866-8984 to discuss your client’s and their needs. Please have the following information available to assist the process:

  • Client diagnosis
  • Location of the client
  • Services needed and type of care provider
  • Tentative date services will start
  • Payer source

Once you and the RN Nurse Care Coordinator have discussed the information above, we will then discuss what is best in terms of setting up a time and place for meeting with you, the client, involved healthcare providers, and the family. Depending on the acuity of care needed and the case manager’s preferences, we may have to set up several of these meetings. If the client is in a facility, we will meet you, the client, and the family there to discuss the best solution for a transition home.
