Naples Health Care Specialists was founded in 2000 by Carol Mojave and has a strong reputation for providing reliable, high quality services to the Naples community. "Carol and her dedicated staff share our concern for enabling people with chronic health conditions to remain safely at home with quality of life," said Eric Rackow, MD, President and Chief Executive Officer of SeniorBridge. "This partnership will allow us to be even more successful in supporting our clients' complex care needs." During the next few months, Carol Mojave will be serving as a consultant to SeniorBridge. In this capacity, she will continue to play a very valuable role conducting community outreach.

The SeniorBridge integrated system of care in the home, encompasses the full range of services. A multidisciplinary care team provides coordinated in-home services including, nursing, psychosocial support, personal care, companionship and enhancement of wellness to maximize client health. Clinical research has shown that this approach can lead to reduced emergency room visits, unnecessary hospital admissions and institutionalization for patients with complex chronic conditions.
