Hi, my name is Tina, I’m an Aging Life Care Manager® and a Certified Care Manager through the National Association of Certified Care Managers. I have been helping people like you for over 25 years.

Everyone deserves respectful, thoughtful care.
We treat every client like family.

Visionary Care Consultants team members are active members of the Aging Life Care Association® as well as the National Academy of Certified Care Managers.
Our dedication to inclusion and cultural competencies is a huge part of Visionary Care as well. That is why our clinicians are all SAGE-certified platinum providers, serving LGBTQ communities in San Diego.
Our team uses a client centered approach to care advocacy. We are concerned with how to get your loved ones care needs met to ensure the best quality of life possible, no matter what it takes. We work for you and your family, not the government or the systems that leave you lacking and frustrated.
We often have two experienced care managers assigned to cases so that there is a multi-disciplined approach to care planning and implementation. You won’t find this with any other concierge care management group.
Our programs and services were created for people who are excited and serious about getting the help they need – it means not running around all day long, beating yourself up anymore saying: “I don’t understand the systems or I don’t have any support ”
Our processes are created for you to put systems in place within a few months (sometimes weeks!), which will eventually lead you to peace of mind, ongoing support, and clarity regarding the resources available to you and your loved one.
We work best with people who are committed to success and who want to change the lives of their loved ones for the better. Our clients often say – “Just tell me what to do, and I’ll do it!”
You will have the support to achieve your loved one’s goals, giving you peace of mind and allowing your loved one to age with dignity and integrity.

In leading up to this moment, I watched them struggle endlessly. The Veterans Administration, the policies behind long term care benefits, the overwhelm of deciding if they wanted Advance Directives and of course the red tape. I stepped up and became their Care Coordinator in my mother’s sheer overwhelm. She was aggravated by the systems and all of the paperwork that came with the end of life planning.
When I realized the fragile nature of my grandparents’ condition, I knew I needed to provide this support to other family members out there that were struggling with the same issues. Before founding Visionary Care Consultants, I spent nearly 10 years working in the field of end-of-life care within a corporate setting. My journey into this work began while I was pursuing my degree in Social Work, where I discovered a passion for supporting individuals and families through some of life’s most challenging transitions.
We didn’t get to choose our internship placements, and at the time, I was certain I didn’t want to work with older adults. It’s often said that what we resist most can become our greatest teacher. In my case, that couldn’t have been more true.
The very first patient that I was paired with was a Hospice patient “Mary”. She had no support system and no living relatives. They asked me to be her support system. I remember so clearly seeing her in a room alone, stuck in bed all day, unable to sit or stand, and I was the only human that she looked forward to seeing every day.
She mentioned that she had nothing to offer me and sometimes there weren’t many conversations between us, but seeing the light that spilled over her face during our time together was even more heartbreaking. She needed to navigate these huge decisions alone.
She felt tossed uncomplainingly aside, and I was there to help guide her through her last days. Mary and I saw each other for a few weeks every day, up until she passed. I was heartbroken and more importantly, forever changed. Mary didn’t realize that she had given me the most important lesson of my life. She didn’t know that she had changed me forever.
