The agency’s care offerings are designed to give patients in Montgomery and Prince George’s Counties greater independence, flexibility, and choice in navigating the support services and resources available to them in their communities.
Community Health and Education Services’ (CHES’s) support broker services will facilitate communication and coordination between you, your loved one, and their service providers, such as personal care assistants (PCAs), registered nurses, and DDA representatives.
If your loved one has opted into a self-direction program, CHES staff will work with both of you and your primary care provider to create a customized care plan that best meets your loved one's needs and goals. Agency professionals are trained to assist clients with cerebral palsy, spina bifida, and those on the autism spectrum.
Besides creating care plans, support brokers can assist you and your loved one with managing their budget and with navigating and accessing available resources. Through CHES, these resources include skilled nursing, personal care, and Developmental Disability Agency (DDA) nursing support services.
If your loved one participates in the DDA’s self-direction program, through CHES they can take advantage of nursing consultations or nursing case management and delegation services. The latter services are required if you or another family member is considered paid staff who administers medications or treatments.
CHES is headed by Dr. Leslie Phillips and Lisa Noel, MSN, RN, NP-C, Director of Operations. Dr. Phillips brings 30 years of clinical experience as a registered nurse, and Ms. Noel brings 26 years of experience working in pediatric and adult healthcare. Dr. Phillips has developed a pioneering comprehensive functional status assessment tool for clients, and Ms. Noel is the co-founder of a clinic program to improve community members’ health and quality of life.
“We review each patient’s plan of care and offer solutions to help them achieve their daily living goals,” an agency representative said. “But we don’t stop there. We review the patients’ care needs on a regular basis to monitor the quality of services they receive. Our reputation in this area for caring, professional services is your guarantee of satisfaction.”
With their competent and compassionate support brokers, CHES can help get your loved one in the driver's seat of their self-directed program!
