See what others have to say about Sage Care Management.
Sage is always there with good advice! I have spoken and texted with Nancy Ortiz several times for different situations. With my Mom in the hospital for 5 months. We found out through experience that geriatric care in hospitals is not a given. Then the considerations of hospice. So nice to talk with someone who has "been there".
Byron Cordes and the team at Sage Care Management (including Nancy, Kimberly, Marisol, and Holly) are fantastic. They have helped a great number of clients out dealing with assessments and geriatric care and caregiving services. Recommended without reservation.
A group with immense integrity and true care for their clients. I can't say enough good about Byron and the team; I'm very grateful for their guidance.
I have had the pleasure of working with Sage Care Management and collaborating care for many of our seniors for several years now. Their dedication to their client’s wellbeing is unsurpassed. I have worked with many care management agencies over the years but Sage Care stands out. I am in frequent contact with Kimberly Haney and Nancy Ortiz, but all the care managers are wonderful. I have the utmost respect for them all! They make a positive difference in the lives of our seniors! DruAA Care Services
We have worked with Sage since 2015. Byron and his team are an amazing group of people. We first employed them to help us manage care for my in laws and now they are assisting in managing the care of my mother. They provide assistance and resources on all levels. Medical, legal, social, and day today. My husband and I cannot thank them enough for the care they give.
I hardly know where to begin! Eight years ago when my mother's health began to deteriorate rapidly, my sister and I were suddenly in very unfamiliar territory dealing with more doctors then hospice then caring for our elderly father who had never lived on his own. My sister, who lives in Dallas, had a friend who recommended Sage Care Management in San Antonio to help all of us navigate through all this. The day my sister called them, Kimberly and Nancy came to my parents' home to explain their services and immediately showed their worth in advice and guidance. They are so kind and knowledgeable. They helped us with the hospice process and even attended Mom's funeral when she passed. I was now responsible for my father's care. I'm the youngest child, working full time, and still struggling with my own grief. For over two years, Kimberly, our counselor, visited Dad every month checking on his emotional and physical health and the state of the house. She quickly became a much loved and trusted confidante for my father, an emotional outlet he desperately needed. After each visit, she would report to my sister and me about her observations. Though I saw Dad multiple times a week, her reports gave us deeper insight into his needs. In the past few years, there have been increasing trips to the ER and doctor challenges. Kimberly and Nancy have been invaluable resources for guidance, encouragement and important information. Kimberly helped us find a new GP for Dad when it became evident his doctor was not giving necessary care. I have relied on Nancy when I have questions about his medical needs. They were able to reach out to Dad's GP for a needed referral when I had not had much success. I can honestly and fervently state that the staff at Sage Care Management are a huge part of why my 96-year old father can still live independently with joy and purpose. We love them ALL!!!
Sage Care Management is a professional resource for me when I have clients that need eyes and ears on their loved ones in the South Texas area. Families will call and being long distance - they need an aging life care manager to "manage" the care of their loved one. No matter if you ask for Byron, Kimberly, Shawn, Nancy or the rest of the team- they are on it! The best part- I hear reviews of their great communication and plan that has been set forth.Keep up the great support in our community, Sage Care Management.

- Marisol Treviño Cantu assisted me for over five months with transferring my client from his home to a nursing facility. This included researching appropriate facilities, matching needs with available services, scheduling visits, and comparing costs. In every instance, Ms. Cantu was professional, knowledgeable, and thorough. But beyond those skills, she was sympathetic to the feelings of my client knowing that he would not welcome this move. She made every attempt to prepare him for the move and to comfort him when the move was at hand. And after the move, she contacted us to be sure she had done all she could for my client’s best interests. She obviously takes her work and her clients to heart. I sincerely hope I get to work with Ms. Cantu again. The caregiving profession could use many more people like her. – Conrad J. Netting IV, CPA, PFS
