"After calling agencies around Worcester and repeating our story, one CareLink coordinator listened, explained the next steps, and helped us connect with a licensed provider."
"CareLink explained the difference between an aide and skilled nursing in plain language and helped us connect with a licensed provider for further evaluation."
"A coordinator gathered our intake details and helped connect us with a licensed provider, which handled the assessment and worked with our health plan."
"The coordinator helped us understand what our plan might cover before we committed to anything. The provider verified the rest."
"We told the coordinator what mattered to us, and CareLink passed those preferences along when helping us connect with a licensed provider."
