Crisis In Senior Healthcare Requires a Case Management Care Plan

According to the Daily Mail, the findings from Harvard’s Joint Center for Housing Studies, seventy percent of Seniors will require some long-term support at some point in their life but only one out of eight can afford the $11K per month costs. The issue is compounded by the fact that Medicare does not cover such services while Medicaid often has long wait lists for at-home support.

Navigating Open Enrollment with Advocacy from Certified Case Manager

According to Medscape, “the consolidation and opportunism” of private equity firms, which have taken advantage of the situation COVID created — smaller hospitals and practices became vulnerable and taken over healthcare thus creating a “new middleman” and raising the cost of healthcare to the beneficiary through increased charges and surprise billing.

I have used Peak Performance Plus for weight loss, and a sleep disorder. The results were extremely satisfying. I will continue to use, and refer my friends and family. Dr. Sterk was particularly helpful using Hypnosis to help me take off the weight.

I highly recommend Miriam Sterk LCSW at Peak Performance Plus for counseling, case management and healthcare advocacy. She has helped me immensely in finding the right job in my field and the best healthcare plan working through all the fine print and obstacles to find the best coverage. Always there when I needed her and she is an excellent counselor as well. She has a lifetime of experience in the healthcare industry and is amazing!

Miriam Sterk LCSW C-ASWCM, was very helpful and resourceful in assessing my elderly mother for appropriate living and care arrangements. The Older Adult Global Assessment Profile and Care plan was very accurate in identifying her specific needs for care, support and placement.

After months of dealing with a denial from our health insurance company and getting nowhere, I contacted Miriam. In a matter of a few months I learned the tricks of getting a claim paid and had resolve. Her expertise of knowing the right people, professional letter writing and the correct way of even mailing letters and documents was so important. I was told by the health insurance company to fax everything. (WRONG) I was so grateful for her help and will never go through this on my own again.

Dr. Sam Sterk helped me achieve Peak Performance Plus in my sport of swimming. In fact because of his professional approach to Sports Improvement I was able to get a NCAA full scholarship in swimming. Thank you Dr. Sam.

Dr. Sterk has exceptional skills in Sports Psychology, and presented material in a professional yet relaxing manner. It was an honor and pleasure to work with Sam, as he is extremely knowledgeable in Hypnosis/Hypnotherapy. I absolutely enjoyed our two training sessions and highly recommend Dr. Sterk’s services and expertise to anyone that has an interest in Hypnosis or Sports Hypnotherapy.

Dr. Sterk helped me relieve anxiety due to my inward reaction toward outside stimulus. In only 2 appointments he has given me the tools to relax and regroup and I have not experienced the problems since! He is understanding and caring and has followed up with me to ask how I have been. I recommend Peak Performance Plus to anyone experiencing anxiety for any reason at all.

In my conversations with Sam, I sense the passion he has for helping others. He has such knowledge and understanding of how to help individuals through counseling and hypnosis for many issues. If you are looking to get support using hypnosis for business, sports, etc., I recommend Sam and Miriam Sterk at Peak Performance Plus!

I’ve taken Dr Sterk’s class and extremely impressed. With very little practice on his techniques, my first 9 holes of golf I played I had 3 birdies in a row, simply by staying relaxed and focusing better. THIS WORKS!

I have already substantially increased my income and it’s growing due to Dr. Sterk’s help. I worked very hard to overcome thought processes that were preventing me from succeeding in golf. I am now playing better then ever thanks to Dr. Sterk.

The Sterks’ qualifications were so impressive that we decided to design a class for our own teaching staff. Our staff enjoyed their workshops so much that we asked the Sterks to develop a syllabus/program for all our students at the La-Tourette Gold Course.

Navigating the world of insurance benefits and disability can be almost impossible, but with the help of Miriam Sterk, the results I desperately needed came very quickly. Miriam understands the intricate workings of the insurance industry, and is able to explain them clearly, so that I could easily choose the best course of action for obtaining the surgery I needed, as well as my Long Term Disability. Miriam Sterk is a lifesaver, and I cannot recommend her services highly enough.
