Questions families often ask.
Clear answers about our role, how we work and the first conversation.
Does Mangrove provide in-home nursing or hands-on caregiving?
No. Mangrove coordinates care and provides advisory support. Caregivers and other clinical providers are engaged separately as needed, through outside professionals or agencies.
Is medical care advisory a replacement for a primary care provider?
No. Melissa helps families understand care plans, prepare questions and navigate healthcare decisions. Diagnosis, treatment, prescribing and emergency care remain with appropriately authorized treating professionals under separate care arrangements.
Can Mangrove handle estate planning or legal documents?
We can help organize existing documents and coordinate administrative follow-up with the attorney or financial professional you choose. We do not provide legal advice or draft legal instruments.
Can Mangrove serve as power of attorney, trustee or guardian?
Those roles carry separate legal requirements and are not automatically included in Mangrove's coordination service. Any potential appointment must be evaluated and contracted separately under applicable law.
Do you offer services to families who live outside Florida?
We can coordinate with adult children and other contacts who live elsewhere when the person receiving local services is within our agreed Southwest Florida service area.
