Contra Costa County, CA - A Nurse in the Family is a nurse-led care management and advocacy service that provides compassionate, coordinated, and clinically informed support to seniors and their families who feel overwhelmed navigating the healthcare system and need guidance on their next steps.
Founded by Cheryl Ringo, MSN, MBA, MHA, RN, the service addresses the growing crisis of fragmented healthcare delivery, where overextended medical teams, insufficient patient education, and medical appointments that lack clear goals and follow-through create dangerous gaps that lead to medication errors, unresolved health issues, and preventable readmissions. Unlike traditional home care services, A Nurse in the Family focuses exclusively on clinical care management and advocacy led by experienced registered nurses.
The service specializes in:
- Healthcare advocacy during medical appointments and hospital stays for goal-driven outcomes
- Personalized care planning and coordination between multiple healthcare providers
- Comprehensive independent medication reviews to prevent dangerous interactions
- Comprehensive Fall risk assessments and home safety evaluations
- Post-discharge navigation to prevent readmissions
- Long-term aging strategy development
The organization's approach centers on enhancing communication between all care providers to prevent gaps in care, reduce health risks, and improve outcomes by providing clients with a dedicated contact person who knows their medical history, personal preferences, and changing needs.
"At A Nurse in the Family, our mission is to provide families with the specialized support and preventive guidance that complex healthcare situations demand," said Ringo. "We combine deep clinical expertise with personalized attention to help seniors maintain dignity, clarity, and continuity of care - while giving their families peace of mind."
A Nurse in the Family emphasizes both independent and community education, helping individuals and families who want to take charge of their health make informed decisions about senior wellness, safety, and healthcare navigation. The service is particularly valuable for those who can benefit from an independent third-party assessment of what's needed to make the best-informed decisions when it comes to health and safety as aging progresses.
