Tina Cheplick, RN, BSN, CCM

Tina Cheplick has been registered nurse and certified case manager in the field of geriatrics for over 30 years serving Marin County and the greater San Francisco Bay Area.  Her extensive background includes acute hospital care, sub acute and skilled care nursing, and experience in working in and with assisted living facilities and community-based programs such as home health and adult day care centers. 

As an educator, Tina has developed curriculum for personal care attendants and best-practice models for care giving. She has been an RN re-entry program instructor and served on the faculty of UCSF and Cal State Fullerton.  Tina is a regular contributor to various eldercare policy forums as well as a national speaker on aging issues.

Tina developed Care Solutions for Elders to offer elder care advocacy services, guidance and training to improve the lives of elders, families and the individuals who provide care.  Her extensive understanding of the aging process, the healthcare system, and the various medical, legal and financial issues gives her the ability to create a comprehensive guided care plan that is specific to each elder’s and family’s needs.  Tina’s philosophy is that each guided care plan must run parallel to the financial plan that makes sense for the family.  In every case, Tina is committed to providing prompt and straightforward communication so that comfort and dignity are not compromised.
