Rising Ground’s Care Management services help the parents and caregivers of children with serious medical or emotional and/or behavioral issues manage the many challenges they face each day, from finding the right specialist for their child, to ensuring transportation for appointments, to coordinating medication management with schools, and more.
Most importantly, we assist families with negotiating the many moving parts of multiple systems to make sure the systems work together in a comprehensive manner with shared goals tailored to each child’s needs so they can thrive and grow. Each child is assigned a Care Coordinator who continually communicates and shares information with families/caregivers from providers in ways that are meaningful to them, sometimes acting as translators. Our services also ensure care during transitions from inpatient to other settings and promote ongoing medical and behavioral care to prevent crisis.
Rising Ground provides Care Management services as a member of the Collaborative for Children and Families, a consortium of 25 agencies throughout the New York City area and a State Department of Health designated Health Home.
