What if the services I provide fall outside of this scope?
We appreciate the work you do for your community, and while it may fall out of our current scope, we would love to keep in touch! Our services are always evolving and we will send periodic updates as we expand our offerings.

Nothing! We will never charge you a fee to be part of our database.

We are not a brokering service and do not maintain formal partnerships with providers for our Care Coordination service.
The Matching Process
-
How do individuals or families get connected to my organization through Care Solace?
When an individual or family connects with Care Solace through email, phone, or a Warm Handoff® referral from their school district or local city representative, they are asked screening questions to help us determine their needs. A dedicated Care Companion then starts the search for potential resource matches, like your organization. Once a list of resources is identified, it is shared with the client and they will reach out to your organization directly.
-
How does Care Solace’s matching process work?
Our matching process takes into account a client’s age, area of concern, geography, insurance, special considerations and preferences (e.g. faith-based, LGBTQI+ focused, etc.), and ability and/or willingness to travel. Using this information, we identify providers who are the best potential matches, then reach out to confirm whether it’s a good fit!
-
What happens after I am identified as a potential match for a client?
If you are identified as a potential resource and this is your first Care Solace referral, we may reach out by phone to confirm we have accurate and up-to-date information for your organization. If this is not your first Care Solace referral, we will share your information with the client, providing them information about how to access the services you offer. Please note: We may occasionally call to re-verify your information and ensure that what we are sharing is still correct.
-
What happens if I'm unable to provide services to your client due to things like a long waitlist, client outside my service area, etc.?
We are here to support you, and our clients, and understand that there are factors that get in the way of providing services. Care Solace can help our client to find additional support, so if you are unable to help someone, please refer them back to their Care Companion or direct them to call us at 888-515-0595.
