Kimberly Diaz, RN — Caring Minds

Senior Care Case Management Denver

If an older adult has complex care needs, families need more than another list of phone numbers. Kimberly Diaz, RN, helps Denver-area families build a coordinated plan across medical care, home support and living arrangements.

How we can help

RN-led assessment, care coordination, medication oversight, communication with physicians and therapists, family meetings, discharge planning, advocacy, and ongoing case management.

Assess needs and responsibilities

Case management begins with a practical assessment of health needs, daily activities, safety, available caregivers and the decisions that cannot wait. Kimberly helps the family name a point of contact and make responsibilities explicit.

  • Map current providers, appointments and open questions.
  • Consider medication oversight and whether routines are manageable.
  • Identify family capacity and caregiver stress before a plan depends on unavailable help.

Manage transitions without losing the thread

Hospital stays, rehabilitation, increasing dementia symptoms and changes at home can fragment care. An RN-led case manager helps connect discharge planning, clinician communication, home services and placement discussions.

  • Prepare for family meetings and medical conversations.
  • Follow up on discharge instructions and referrals.
  • Compare support at home with assisted living, memory care or skilled nursing when appropriate.

Advocate over time

The aim is not a one-time recommendation; it is a plan that can be revisited as needs change. Kimberly supports communication and advocacy so families can make informed choices without having to coordinate everything alone.

  • Reassess safety and care needs as conditions change.
  • Keep the person's goals and preferences visible in every decision.
  • Know when to ask the treating team about palliative care or hospice.
