Consultation, Care Management and Counseling: Iona's core programs are built around the needs of older adults and family caregivers who are facing difficult transitions, isolation, loss of family and social supports, and/or serious health challenges that impact their safety, well-being, and ability to remain in the home of their choice. Through the Consultation, Care Management, and Counseling programs, compassionate and highly trained social workers, psychotherapists, and registered nurses provide intensive, customized, person-centered support and solutions to older adults and families, helping them navigate complex challenges.
