I AM CARE LCSW PLLC

Inspiration
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience in healthcare, I witnessed older adults on a continuous rotation of hospital admissions.
While working closely with patients I learned that many were in need of home care services. Some did not have family nearby and others had no family to advocate for them or to coordinate their care, and they went to the hospital to get the human touch they craved or needed.
My experience ignited my passion for my work with older adults.
I AM Care provides care coordination for older adults in need of support services to organize their changing
needs.
Mission
The I AM Care mission is to enrich and enhance the quality of life for older adults through compassionate care coordination. At I AM Care we provide services to adults diagnosed with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s, dementia, those with multiple medical issues and anyone in need of care coordination.
For clients to feel safe and well supported wherever they choose to live.
To provide the same services I would want for my loved ones and myself.
Values
The heart of my work is my clients. I provide services with energy. I use good judgment, commitment, and affection. I am committed to excellence and to providing my clients with the highest quality of care coordination

When my dad suddenly faced a medical emergency during a routine check-up, Norma proved to be our guardian angel in every sense of the word. Norma's quick thinking and sharp instincts enabled her to be the first one to notice something was wrong with my dad. Her decisive leadership and advocacy were instrumental in securing immediate attention for my dad. She rallied the nursing staff and doctor to expedite his care. She made sure that he was taken to be the best emergency room and hospital. What's truly remarkable about Norma is her dedication to her clients and their families. She stayed by my parents' side throughout their entire emergency room stay, providing emotional support until a hospital bed was available. Her presence was the reassurance my family needed during a chaotic and uncertain time, offering comfort and peace of
mind when it mattered most. Thanks to Norma's swift actions and advocacy, my dad is now doing well. If you're seeking a trusted healthcare advocate who will go above and beyond to support your loved ones, look no further than Norma. I feel blessed to have had her as our healthcare advocate for the past 4 years and counting. R.R.
Norma came into my
family’s life at a time when we desperately needed guidance. My father had been suddenly hospitalized, and his health unexpectedly declined very quickly. We were shocked and overwhelmed by the news, and didn't know where to start in terms of care planning, navigating the healthcare system, and ensuring his quality of life. That's when Norma stepped in, offering us a beacon of hope and expertise. From the very beginning, Norma demonstrated unwavering compassion, empathy, and
professionalism. She took the time to understand our family's unique needs, values, and goals, and worked closely with us to develop a personalized care plan that prioritized my father's well-being and dignity. Today, his health has improved in ways we weren’t expecting. A good deal of his improvements is due to Norma’s help and care. L.V.
Norma has been a godsend to me and my husband since he had a stroke a year and a
half ago. She was extremely helpful in finding a good rehabilitation facility for my
husband when he was still at the hospital. That was a challenging task, because my
husband’s condition was deemed to be too poor for rehabilitation service. She also did
a phenomenal job in helping me find the right kind of marketplace insurance for him
once he lost his regular medical insurance provided by his employer. Normal is skilled,
competent, and professional. I can rely on her help in the most challenging moments in
my life.

Norma is unbelievably good at what she does. I have consulted Norma on several
different problems (from finding a care facility to hiring aides, to how to approach a
complicated situation) and have always found her response to be compassionate,
informed, creative, practical and prompt. I have gone on to recommend her to several
friends and would not hesitate either to consult her myself or to recommend her again
should the need arise. J.S.
I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to Norma who made a life-changing difference for me and my family. When our doctor recommended replacing my current pacemaker with the latest technology, despite it being recently approved by the FDA, we were uncertain about the best course of action. Norma assembled a team of medical professionals who provided clear, concise explanations about the differences between my current device and the proposed new one. With their expert insights, we felt empowered to make an informed decision that was right for me.
The procedure went smoothly, and Norma's ongoing support has been invaluable.
What impresses me most about Norma is her exceptional ability to connect people with the resources they need. She checks in regularly to ensure I'm following through on recommended care plans and provides peace of mind knowing she's got my back. Her intelligence, knowledge, and compassion make her truly superb at her job. If you or a loved one needs guidance navigating complex healthcare decisions, Norma Lopez is the perfect advocate. I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking a trusted partner in their care journey. H.L.
