What We Do
Our core services
Supervising medications is a task for professionals. Many people take 10 or more medications daily. Some are on a regular schedule, some are taken as needed, some are at different times and even in different doses.

Who uses Shelterbelt Care?
We are often contacted by the adult children of aging parents, many who live far from their loved ones. Our specialized care management benefits those with chronic conditions who use a team of physicians, ongoing diagnostic or laboratory testing, and several medications. We are available for one-time consultations and long-term relationships.
What physicians say about our services
The most important role of Nurse Care Managers is to act as a liaison between the primary care provider and the patient. They sit in on medical visits, and are a second pair of eyes and ears.

I think the best thing about a Nurse Care Manager is having a point person for the patient and the family so now all parties have a face, a name, someone to call with questions or problems.
