NAP is a healthcare advocacy company with offices in the Boston, MA and Bluffton/Hilton Head Island, SC areas. We provide professional healthcare advocates to our clients for a variety of services. Each of our healthcare advocates is either an experienced registered nurse (RN) or nurse practitioner (NP).
We specialize in helping with your loved ones. If you have someone in your life (parent, sibling, child, close friend, etc.) who needs help but you can’t be there for them due to distance or time constraints, we are experts in assisting you to help meet these needs. We will keep you informed of your loved one as we attend appointments and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of various treatment options. We are here to answer your questions and help carry out the wishes of our clients and their trusted loved ones. Call us today for a complimentary phone consultation. We will listen as you describe your situation. If we are all in agreement to move forward after our phone conversation, we will schedule an in-home assessment to be attended by all concerned parties. We will craft an individualized plan that addresses everyone’s concerns. |
Words can’t express how grateful I am that Karen was able to look after my elderly father when I couldn’t be there to help him. I live in Colorado and my father suffered a stroke back home. He often times had difficulty communicating and understanding the information and advice he was receiving from his doctors. With compassion and competence, Karen was able to help my father make better treatment decisions and she even caught a drug interaction that was causing complications with his recovery. My family feels blessed to have Karen oversee the healthcare treatment of my aging parents.

Accompany Clients To Appointments – We meet our clients at all the doctors’ appointments they would like us to attend. We develop close working relationships with their healthcare providers that are mutually beneficial.
Ensure Our Clients Understand Their Doctor – We are keenly aware that many clients struggle to understand their doctor’s diagnosis or instructions. Sometimes they are embarrassed to ask the doctor to repeat something or ask for clarification. We are there to make sure you are fully aware of what’s going on with your healthcare. We won’t leave the appointment until you are comfortable that you understand all that’s been reviewed.
Provide Transportation – If necessary, we are happy to provide transportation for our clients when we accompany them to appointments. This is an opportune time to discuss the upcoming appointment and discuss any concerns. We learn a lot about our clients during these rides.
Maintain A Current List Of Medication – It’s important that all your doctors know about all the medications you are taking. We maintain a current list of all your medications and dosages and have it with us at each appointment. We also perform ongoing medication reconciliation to minimize the risk of medication error.
Assist Finding New Doctors – Perhaps you aren’t happy with your current providers. We can help you find a new specialist and even assist in scheduling an appointment.

Coordinate Care Among All Providers – We make sure all your healthcare providers are aware of all your other providers. Everyone needs to work as a team and we help make that happen.
Schedule Your Appointments – We can schedule your appointments and make sure you are reminded of them,. We do not want our clients missing any of their important doctors’ appointments.
Maintain Communication With Loved Ones – One of the most important services we provide is the communication between our clients and loved ones. We want to make sure everyone who should know what’s going with their loved ones is up to date on their status.
Make Certain Your Questions Are Answered – Family members tell us that their loved ones are afraid to ask their doctor questions. Therefore, they don’t know exactly what is going on. We have a discussion before all your appointments to make sure all your questions are asked and answered to your satisfaction.
Assist In The Transition From Independent To Dependent Care – We help our clients in the event they need to move from independent living to an assisted living community. This can be a traumatic change but we are able to offer support and guidance to our clients and their loved ones during this time.
