What We Do

"Long-term care" ranges from caregiving at home, receiving personal care at home, adult day support services, assisted living communities, skilled nursing facilities/nursing homes and hospice. Most of us will enjoy the ability to live at home with the support of our village of family, friends and our community's wraparound services.  Needs change.  Preferences change.   The team at CommonHealth Partners aims to ensure that all of these options function in the most person-centered, affordable and supportive manner possible to support health and medical wellness!   We offer coaching and consultation for individuals, couples and families.  In the setting of your selection, we will listen to your concerns and challenges related to living, aging and/or caregiving.  CommonHealth Partners focuses on strengths, not deficits.  We evaluate the whole person/team and offer constructive feedback and area resources that may support plans for positive aging.  ​Sliding scale rates are available.  Please call or email for details.
