Concierge Healthcare Consulting
The COVID-19 pandemic could potentially affect the vulnerable population I work with. Thoughtful preparedness and calm responsiveness is always our best defense. At this time, Concierge Healthcare Consulting is following the recommendations and precautions as outlined by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
COVID-19 Protocal
To protect my clients and staff, I strongly recommend the following:
- Frequent, thorough hand washing with soap and water
- Use of hand sanitizer when hand washing is not feasible
- Staff not having in-person interactions with clients when ill
- Social distancing, including limiting or eliminating hand shaking
- A mask must be worn at all times, when medically feasible
I appreciate the efforts healthcare communities and homecare agencies are taking to protect their clients/residents and will be abiding by any restrictions or requests put in place by the hospitals, skilled nursing facilities and other care communities I visit. My concern for my clients and the community at large demands that we all follow these guidelines and policies. I encourage my clients to do the same.
Please be assured that despite any limitations that may be imposed in care settings and facilities, Concierge Healthcare Consulting is working collaboratively to implement creative and resourceful adaptations that will help to ensure that I meet the needs of clients. These include, but are not limited to, telephone contact and video conferencing in place of in-person visits, when necessary.
As always, I value and appreciate the collective community of clients, their families and our professional partners. It is my goal to continue to be effective in supporting other during this challenging time.
To connect our community to useful information, I have curated this list of resources:
COVID-19 Support
COVID-19 has changed life as we know it, including the ways we seek and accept care. Concerns about safety, the efficacy and availability of the vaccine, scheduling medical appointments and services have overwhelmed many. There has never been a greater need for a partner and guide to help you make informed decisions that are right for your family.
I am here to help you and your aging loved ones navigate the maze around COVID-19.

“We absolutely loved working with Abbe. She was very caring towards our loved one. Goals and tasks were set and Abbe met everyone of them with professionalism and on a timely basis. We are very grateful that she was recommended to us and of having her in our lives.”
“Abbe is an expert on geriatric-care options for aging parents, and was invaluable in helping with plans for my mother. Abbe did a comprehensive search of assisted-living facilities in South Florida for us, and provided a detailed report full of insightful analysis. And when my mother suffered a sudden illness, Abbe went above and beyond in helping us to find acute-care options and longer-term support. We enthusiastically recommend Concierge Healthcare Consulting—she combines deep expertise with a warm, personal touch, providing peace of mind during what could have been a stressful process.”
“I have known Abbe for a few years, and I have worked with her on some of our mutual clients. She is smart, thorough, caring and responsive, and the clients I have referred to her have been more than pleased with her work. Abbe is great – I can’t say enough good things about her.”
“I have recommended Abbe and she has been great navigating through the healthcare management system. Highly recommend.”
