As advocates for aging adults, Mountain Area Premier Care Navigation (MAP CN) care managers are compass creators for seniors and their families. Tapping into several decades of experience with extensive knowledge of local and national resources, Aging Life Care™ Managers create a successful care map for each client based upon their unique needs. MAP CN operates in a village capacity and finds solutions for seniors’ needs. They serve as translators between health systems and clients, facilitators of conversation with family members, as well as collaboration with blended families of second marriages.

Navigation Assistance 

After an initial assessment, clients are matched to a care manager best suited to their needs.

• MAP CN conducts an initial assessment. This can be as light touch as a one-time phone consultation, or as involved as an assessment in the home or facility. Support can continue indefinitely as is directed by the client.

• MAP CN communicates with health care providers, serving as a medical advocate for the care the client wishes to receive.

• MAP CN arranges for in-home care or alternative living assistance, helping the senior and/or family choose the best option for them and determine how much care is needed.

• MAP CN provides a “Just in Case” Safety Net for healthy, solo seniors. In the event of an emergency, the MAP CN team is on call to help advocate and navigate the health care system. Annual check-in allows all parties to remain up to date on any changes in health or their wishes for care.

• MAP CN provides A La Carte Services, assisting with as little or as much help as needed.

Above the Rest

MAP CN care managers are clinically focused, well-versed in senior care and possess comprehensive skill sets. Staff have a minimum of Masters' level of education in their subject areas, from social work to nursing to physical therapy. MAP CN serves all of WNC. Owner, Lisa Laney states "Care management's priority is stellar communication and with this comes desired quality results."

“ ...been working with Lisa and her team for over 5 years. Caring for my mom from NY would have been impossible without their support and expertise. Their deep roots in the Asheville area, compassion, sensitivity, sound advice and--when needed--loving sense of humor have been important to me. Mom is surrounded by people who genuinely care about her, and are they are there for me too.”
