Short Hills, NJ  ยท  Serving Families & Individuals

Nobody plans
for the call.

A parent is discharged from the hospital. Suddenly someone has to coordinate the follow-up appointments, the prescriptions, and the specialists. All while still managing their own life.

That someone doesn't have to figure it out alone.

The coordination that lands
without warning.

A sudden fall. A Friday discharge. A specialist referral with a stack of follow-ups. These moments do not announce themselves. They require calm, experienced coordination from someone who knows how to manage the moving parts.

"It's Friday afternoon. Your parent is being discharged. There's a home health aide to arrange, follow-up appointments to schedule, prescriptions to sort, and a family group chat full of stress and zero answers. This is exactly where I come in."

๐Ÿฅ
Post-Hospital Coordination

Discharge planning, home health aide sourcing, follow-up scheduling, and transition management from hospital to home.

๐Ÿ“‹
Specialist & Provider Management

Scheduling, records coordination, appointment preparation, and follow-through with multiple providers across a care team.

๐Ÿ’Š
Prescription & Care Logistics

Medication management coordination, pharmacy communication, and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks in daily care.

๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘ง
Family Communication

Clear, organized updates for family members so everyone is informed and no one is managing the chaos alone.

Everything that keeps
life running.

Beyond elder care, I support individuals and families across all the demands that crowd a well-lived life: health, administration, and the logistics that never seem to stop.

Kristi Tutela Dane

Rooted in three generations
of Short Hills medicine.

The Tutela family has been providing medical care in New Jersey for over 80 years. That legacy is personal to me and this community is not a market. It is home.

I bring a JD, MBA, and 15 years of senior leadership experience to every engagement. I am not a clinician or therapist. I focus on the operational side, helping people get organized, stay that way, and feel less alone in the process.

Every client is different. Every situation is handled with privacy, precision, and care.
