MissionSense

MissionSense is the non-profit arm of The HealthSense Collective dedicated to helping vulnerable individuals in need with the management of their healthcare journey. We believe that everyone, regardless of their financial circumstances, deserves a compassionate and expert advocate when facing complex health challenges. Our mission is to provide the highest quality care management to those who cannot otherwise afford it. This vital work is supported by the HealthSense division and by generous donations from our community.

Our Approach

To ensure our clients receive the best possible support, our process is just as thorough and personalized as any of our services. It begins with a comprehensive, holistic assessment to understand the full picture of a client's life. This covers a client’s:

  • Physical health

  • Cognitive health, including screening for dementia

  • Mental health, including screening for depression

  • A thorough medication review to identify accuracy, compliance, and tolerance

  • Functional assessment of abilities to perform basic activities of daily living

  • Identifying common geriatric risk factors such as frequent falls or nutritional vulnerabilities

  • Environment and safety review of the home

  • Support, resources, and care systems available

Developing a Plan of Care

After our evaluation, we develop a comprehensive Plan of Care. This is a crucial roadmap that provides clear, actionable steps to stabilize and improve a client's situation. This care plan may include:

  • Specific recommendations for both short and long-term health care planning, such as physician referrals, home care options, rehabilitation, and living options.

  • Coordinating and facilitating Advance Directive planning such as health care proxies and Living Wills.

  • Recommendations for home safety and comfort improvements.

  • Providing guidance on appropriate local resources that can help with specific issues.

Ongoing Advocacy & Support

Our commitment doesn't end with a plan. We provide hands-on, ongoing support to implement and monitor the care plan, which may include:

  • Accompanying clients to medical appointments and advocating on their behalf.

  • Assisting in assembling a competent and compassionate team of home care professionals.

  • Ongoing re-evaluation of the care plan, to ensure that it is achieving its goals.

  • Acting as a liaison between all of a client’s health care providers.

  • Providing crisis intervention and triage in the case of an emergency.
