Oncology Navigator Referral Partner Program
Cancer patients and families navigating active treatment often face simultaneous care placement needs. A trusted placement specialist handles the senior care side while oncology navigators focus on treatment.
Oncology patient navigators guide cancer patients through a complex medical and emotional journey — but senior patients with cancer often face simultaneous care placement needs that fall outside the navigator’s role. A patient receiving chemotherapy may no longer be able to live independently; a patient transitioning to hospice may need care setting placement; a caregiver spouse may be overwhelmed managing both treatment appointments and daily care. An oncology navigator with a trusted placement specialist referral can address the whole patient’s situation.
Why Partner With Erika
Whole-Patient Support
Oncology navigators address the treatment journey. I address the care setting and support infrastructure that surrounds treatment. Together we reduce the family’s total burden.
Palliative-to-Hospice Transitions
When the treatment goal shifts to comfort, placement decisions often need to be made simultaneously. I coordinate the care setting side of palliative and hospice transitions.
Family and Caregiver Support
Caregiver spouses of cancer patients are often overwhelmed and isolated. I support the caregiver dimension — respite care, home care coordination, and eventual placement — alongside the treatment navigation.
How It Works
You identify a patient with concurrent placement needs
A patient in active treatment is no longer able to manage at home independently, a caregiver is burning out, or a patient is transitioning to palliative/hospice care and needs placement.
Referral to me for care placement
You introduce the family to me as a care placement resource. I take over the placement logistics while you maintain the treatment navigation role.
Care setting assessment and coordination
I assess care needs in the context of the cancer diagnosis and treatment status — including hospice eligibility, palliative care integration, and the specific capabilities needed in a care setting.
Coordinated palliative and hospice placement
For patients transitioning to comfort care, I identify care settings with strong palliative care integration and coordinate with hospice providers — ensuring the care transition is smooth and dignified.
