Concierge at home is a physician directed, unique and comprehensive service dedicated to helping seniors remain in their home environment (Private/Family home, Independent, Assisted or Memory Care in a senior community) for as long as possible by providing routine medical care at your doorstep.

About Karon
I serve as Healthcare Advocate for Dr. Paul Roller, Medical Director for Concierge at home along with his medical team.
My role is varied as I try to meet the individual needs of our clients to include support for patient/family, connection to reputable companies to provide needed services as listed above, hospital transition services from home to hospital or rehab and working with discharge planners to be sure all discharge orders are implemented and that discharge medications are accurate and that patient/family understand their new medication regimen upon discharge. At times, I attend specialty physician visits with patients when family is not available or meet a patient in the ER when needed to be able to transfer accurate information to the family. My tasks are always evolving depending on the needs of the patient.
Dr. Paul Roller is geriatrician with over 18 years experience working only with patients 65 or older; and who understands the special medical needs of seniors, and who knows that with an elderly patient base; many patients have homebound status due to various causes such as mobility issues, impaired functioning due to debilitating conditions like arthritis, chronic lung/heart diseases, dementia/Alzheimer's with behavioral issues, wheelchair bound, etc. Dr. Roller wants these patients to have access to excellent medical care in the home and dedicates this part of his practice to those who have difficulty getting out to see a doctor.
