family medicine“Excellent caregiving is a given. What families need is a clinician overseeing it.”
Assisted living gives your loved one attentive daily care. What it rarely includes is a doctorate-prepared clinician reviewing the concerns that surface between doctor visits. Encompass Family Medicine fills that gap — supporting the caregivers who know your loved one best, keeping you informed, and making certain their own provider has what they need to act.
The clinician you will hear from — and the one your loved one's doctor will hear from.
Paige is a doctorally-prepared family nurse practitioner (DNP, FNP-BC) whose clinical home is senior and complex care. She has spent years caring for medically complex older adults — multiple chronic conditions, polypharmacy, and the high-acuity situations that keep people out of the hospital — including leading care for high-risk Medicare members. She also owns and operates a memory care home in Scottsdale.
That combination is unusual and it is the point: she knows what a caregiver sees on a Tuesday afternoon, and she knows how a doctor needs it framed in order to act on it. Encompass Family Medicine exists to put that judgment between your loved one's community, your family, and their provider.
Your loved one may see their doctor every few months. In the weeks between, things change — a new symptom, a medication that isn't sitting right, a subtle decline the caregivers notice first. Caregivers are excellent at spotting these. What is often missing is a clinician to review what it may mean and make sure it reaches the doctor clearly and quickly.
That gap is where most family frustration lives, and it is the entire purpose of this service. Paige reviews concerns with the care team, applies advanced clinical judgment to what they may signify, explains it to you, and relays a clear clinical picture to your loved one's provider — who directs all diagnosis, prescribing, and treatment.
“Nothing changes about who provides your loved one's medical care. What changes is that nothing falls through.”
Most families choose a community on the strength of its caregivers, and then discover the harder part: knowing what is actually happening clinically, week to week, without having to chase the doctor's office yourself. That is the part we take on.
Each one strengthens the care your loved one already receives — without changing who directs it.
A nurse practitioner reviews your loved one's concerns, trends, and care plan — a clinician's eye over the care they receive every day.

A caregiver sees something different in your loved one and brings it to the care team — the first and most important point of contact.
Paige reviews the concern with the care team and brings advanced clinical judgment to what it may signify.
She speaks with you — explaining in plain language what is being looked at, and carrying your questions forward.
She gives your loved one's provider a clear clinical picture. That provider directs all diagnosis, prescribing, and treatment.
Encompass Family Medicine provides clinical oversight, review, and communication. We fill the gap between doctor visits. We do not diagnose, prescribe, or direct your loved one's medical care, and we do not replace or interfere with their relationship with their own doctor. Your loved one's primary care provider directs all diagnosis, prescribing, and treatment decisions. Our role is to make certain that provider has a clear, timely picture — and that you are never left managing a clinical question alone.
Oversight is contracted by the community, not by families. If you want the families you answer to have a nurse practitioner reviewing concerns between provider visits, we will scope an engagement around your size, resident acuity, and existing provider relationships.

No. They keep their own primary care provider, who directs all diagnosis, prescribing, and treatment. Paige provides clinical oversight and coordination — she reviews concerns, keeps you informed, and makes certain their doctor has a clear picture to act on.
No. She reviews the medication regimen and flags concerns — interactions, duplications, or a regimen that may no longer fit — and communicates them to the prescriber. All prescribing decisions remain with your loved one's own provider.
Yes, if your loved one lives in a community we support. Day to day she works alongside the caregivers who see your loved one most, but families are welcome to reach out with questions — and she will contact you directly when a situation warrants it.
Nothing is taken away. The caregivers keep caregiving, your loved one keeps their doctor, and any home health or hospice relationship stays in place. What is added is a doctorate-prepared clinician watching the space between visits.
Nothing. Oversight is contracted and paid for by the community your loved one lives in. There is no separate bill to families and no insurance claim submitted on their behalf.
Tell them about it, or send us a note and we will reach out. We work with assisted living communities across the Phoenix metro, including Tempe, Scottsdale, Mesa, Chandler, and Gilbert.
If your loved one lives in a community we support, reach out any time — about a change you've noticed, a medication you're unsure of, or simply to understand what oversight looks like day to day.
Owners and administrators considering oversight for their community are welcome here too.
Oversight is contracted by the community, not by families — there is never a bill to you. Communities: engagements are scoped and quoted based on size, resident acuity, and existing provider relationships.
