Supportive Services
We’ll be there for you every step of the way.
We understand the value of supportive services such as nutrition, rehabilitation, and financial counseling at Beacon. We consult with registered dieticians who help with nutritional counseling and dietary services such as meal planning and cooking workshops. To guarantee that we are reaching each patient’s individual goals of care, we have excellent contacts in the rehabilitation and physical therapy fields, as well as good working partnerships with numerous chiropractors, naturopaths, and palliative care groups. Furthermore, we work to reduce the financial burden that cancer treatments and therapies place on patients and their families by securing a variety of grants, co-pay cards, and other types of support.
Team Composition
The team usually includes doctors, nurses, care coordinators, pharmacists, and other specialists like dietitians or mental health professionals.
Patient-Centered Focus
The approach emphasizes understanding patients’ needs, preferences, and values, ensuring they are active participants in their care.
Monitoring and Follow-Up
Ongoing monitoring of the patient’s progress and regular follow-ups help in adjusting care plans as needed to meet the patient’s evolving needs.
Evaluation
Evaluating the effectiveness of the care coordination team’s approach is necessary to identify areas for improvement and ensure high-quality care.
Financial Counseling
“At Beacon, financial counseling is part of your cancer journey. And we’re here to support you in that.”
– Wendy Collins, Care Coordinator
