Cedar Community is pleased to introduce a new service for seniors and their families as they navigate the many resources available today to maintain independence. Cedar Community Pathfinders is a geriatric care management service, part of Cedar Community Home Health & Hospice’s Supportive Care division.

Cedar Community social worker Christa Pretzl, Care Manager Certified and member of the National Geriatric Care Managers, will head the new service. Care managers assist seniors and their loved ones in a variety of ways, from accompanying them to medical appointments, summarizing information, advocating on their behalf, to creating a plan of medical care and support services and helping research and arrange care providers or moves to appropriate housing. “The resources we offer and advice we give is as varied as the challenges many seniors face,” said Pretzl. “Our mission is to listen and understand their needs, then help guide them along the best path to wellness and maintaining independence.”

Cedar Community Pathfinder service is available to all Cedar Community residents, families, staff, volunteers and the community at large. For details, call Christa at 262.306.2691.
