Silver Wings Care Management

Silver Wings Care Managementis a health and human service organization that serves as a diligent advocate for our clients and strives to provide elderly and disabled individuals with an empowered and enriched life. For over 10 years we have served the West Coast of Florida and have had clients in multiple counties including Pinellas, Pasco, Hillsborough and Hernando. We have a team of experienced geriatric care managers and elder care professionals dedicated to preserving the optimal quality of life for our clients. We will provide a comprehensive assessment of the client's needs and create an individualized care plan that addresses and maximizes the overall well-being of your loved one. We focus on the physical, mental and financial well-being of the individual by assessing, planning, coordinating and monitoring services while providing professional guidance to our clients and their families. Whether our clients need crisis intervention, help with a transitional move, healthcare surrogacy, or daily management, our primary goal is to maximize the client's independence while ensuring their safety and comfort. We pride ourselves on identifying our client's passions and helping them to partake in them once again.

We are also able to aid clients with luxury and medical travel, both internationally and domestically. With incontinence wheelchairs and other vital medical equipment in tow, many elders are deterred from participating in travel adventures and visiting destinations they've always dreamt of seeing. There is a large portion of the elderly population that still has a passion for travel but can't imagine it can logistically happen.

The Silver Wings Special Needs Travel program through Deena Balogh & Associates, LLC is able to make these trips a reality. Whether being reunited with a friend or family member that they haven't seen in decades, visiting an exotic destination that has been on their bucket list forever or simply returning to a favorite vacation spot, travelers are able to plan and participate on any trip they can imagine.

We have certified staff that is able to handle a wide range of client's needs from transferring assists, medication management and personal care to more complex cases including skilled nursing and oncology. We often accommodate special diets, ensure the trip has handicap accessible amenities and have staff that is able to handle any emergency that may arise. There are virtually no medical restrictions that we cannot handle!

Along with a 1:1 client to companion ratio throughout the trip, we collaborate with world-class medical providers that can be at our aid no matter where we may be. We work in partnership with the client's healthcare teams both home and abroad. We receive encouragement and support from their medical doctors, psychiatric care providers, care managers, guardians, and families. We have helped guardians prepare petitions for wards, all of which have all been approved. This has allowed all kinds of travelers, even travelers with dementia to experience the world.
