Patient Advocacy & Care Coordination
When an aging parent's care spreads across specialists, hospitals, and discharge plans, Tammy is the registered nurse who holds the whole picture and stands beside your family at every step.
A professional who holds the whole picture
When a parent ages, their care rarely stays in one place. There is a primary doctor, a cardiologist, an orthopedist, a hospital stay, a discharge plan, and a stack of instructions that never quite line up. Families are left to be the glue, usually while holding down jobs and lives of their own.
A private RN care advocate is the person you hire to hold that whole picture. Tammy Rumberger sits between your family and the medical system as a registered nurse who works only for you. If you have been searching for a geriatric care manager or for elder care management for an aging parent, this is the role you are looking for, carried by a registered nurse who reads the situation with a nurse's eye.
What Tammy actually does
Tammy attends appointments in person or by video, asks the questions you would not think to ask, and writes down what the doctor actually meant once the visit is over.
She reads discharge plans line by line and turns them into steps your family can follow. She keeps a current picture of every diagnosis, medication, and provider, and carries that picture from one office to the next, so the cardiologist knows what the surgeon decided.
When something does not add up, a test that was never followed up on, a referral that fell through, an instruction that contradicts another, she catches it and brings it to the right provider.

When your family needs this
You might need patient advocacy when a parent has just been discharged and the first weeks at home feel fragile. When there are too many doctors and no one connecting them. When you live too far away to sit in the room. Or when you simply cannot carry one more medical detail on top of everything else.
Tammy brings more than thirty years of nursing to that table, including hospice case management, the part of nursing built entirely around coordinating complex care. Over a long career she has earned the trust of the physicians she has worked alongside, and a well-prepared nurse at your side makes their work easier and your parent safer.
You don't have to coordinate this alone
Patient advocacy often works hand in hand with chronic condition guidance and medication review. If you are not sure where to start, one free call will help.
