Managing a disability is about more than just treating symptoms. It’s physically demanding, emotionally taxing, and often requires constant care. It can mean multiple doctors, physical therapists, and often in-home help.
Your Solace advocate will serve as your central point of contact, keeping doctors coordinated, records centralized, and ensuring you always have the information you need.
When caring for a disabled family member, otherwise simple tasks like scheduling appointments, arranging transportation, and organizing paperwork can feel unnecessarily overwhelming.
An advocate can make the calls, manage the appointments, and keep records organized so you can focus on what matters most: spending quality time with your loved one.
Caring for a loved one can feel confusing, frustrating, and isolating. Luckily, you don’t have to do it alone. Having someone to talk to, someone who really understands what you’re going through, can make all the difference.
Your Solace advocate will be by your side every step of the way, offering a shoulder to lean on when times get hard and a voice of reason when nothing makes sense.

With Solace, you get both a patient advocate and a supporting physician, which we refer to as your “care team”.
Your advocate will be there to manage the day to day aspects of your care: coordinating with doctors, researching potential solutions and communicating updates to you.
Your supporting physician can unlock resources for you and your advocate that might otherwise be out of reach.
The disability benefits landscape is notoriously complex, with confusing application processes, strict documentation requirements, and high denial rates for initial claims. Solace Disability Support advocates guide you through this challenging terrain, explaining eligibility criteria for programs like SSDI, SSI, Medicare, and Medicaid in clear, understandable terms. They help gather appropriate medical documentation that effectively demonstrates how your disability impacts daily functioning and ability to work. Your advocate prepares comprehensive applications that address specific program requirements, tracks submission deadlines, and manages the appeals process when initial claims are denied. This specialized support transforms a frustrating bureaucratic process into a navigable pathway to essential benefits that support your independence and quality of life.
Finding and funding appropriate assistive technologies can significantly impact daily functioning, yet many people with disabilities remain unaware of available options or struggle to secure coverage for necessary equipment. Solace advocates research technologies specifically designed for your disability type, functionality needs, and personal preferences, from mobility devices to communication systems to home modifications. They identify funding sources beyond traditional insurance, including nonprofit organizations, specialized grants, and equipment loan programs. Your advocate helps complete required paperwork for insurance coverage of adaptive equipment, gathering supporting documentation and managing appeals when coverage is initially denied. This focused approach ensures you can access life-changing technologies without becoming overwhelmed by research or funding challenges.
Living with a disability often involves managing multiple healthcare providers, therapists, and support services that may not effectively communicate with each other. Solace advocates serve as your central coordination hub, ensuring all providers understand your complete health picture and work toward consistent goals. They organize medical records and treatment plans from different specialists into one accessible system, schedule appointments strategically to minimize fatigue, and ensure therapy recommendations are implemented across all care settings. Your advocate identifies gaps in your care team and researches specialists with expertise in your specific disability. This coordinated approach eliminates the burden of constantly explaining your needs to different providers and creates a cohesive support system that enhances your overall functioning.
Navigating work, education, and public spaces often requires appropriate accommodations, yet many people with disabilities face significant barriers when requesting these adjustments. Solace advocates help identify specific accommodations that would enable your full participation in various settings, from workplace modifications to educational supports to housing adaptations. They research relevant laws like the ADA and Section 504 that protect your rights and explain these protections in practical terms. Your advocate helps draft effective accommodation request letters, gathers supporting documentation from healthcare providers, and mediates conversations with employers or educational institutions when necessary. This proactive advocacy transforms potentially challenging negotiations into productive discussions about reasonable adjustments that support your independence and equal participation in community life.
