When managing it all starts to feel like too much, you don't have to do it alone.
Cooper Care & Concierge helps older adults and families navigate aging, healthcare, changing needs and everyday life—while supporting independence and keeping everyone on the same page.
You don't have to wait for a crisis to ask for help. Whether you're planning ahead or responding to a hospitalization, new diagnosis, fall, caregiver change or growing concern, I step in wherever you are and help determine what comes next.
Does any of this sound familiar?
You're managing multiple doctors, appointments, medications or services.
You want to remain at home but aren't sure what support is available.
A spouse or family caregiver is becoming overwhelmed.
You live away from someone you care about and need trusted local support.
You know things are changing—but don't know what to do next.
Think of me as the person who helps connect the pieces.
I help you understand what needs attention, create a plan, coordinate the people and services involved, ask the questions that need asking, and make sure important details don't fall through the cracks.
You remain in control. I help make the path clearer.
Guidance. Coordination. Advocacy.
So you can spend less time managing care—and more time living life.
About Melodye
I'm Melodye McKaye, founder of Cooper Care & Concierge.
For more than two decades, I've worked in community mental health and healthcare-related services, including leadership, care coordination, quality oversight, documentation, training and advocacy.
My professional experience—and my own family's experience navigating significant healthcare needs—taught me something important:
Good care isn't enough if no one is connecting the pieces.
That's why I created Cooper Care & Concierge: to help older adults and families bring order to complicated situations while protecting independence, choice and quality of life.

Hi, I'm Melodye McKaye.
Before Cooper Care & Concierge became a business, the heart behind it had been developing for years.
I spent more than two decades working in community mental health and healthcare-related services, including leadership, care coordination, quality oversight, documentation, training and advocacy. That experience taught me something I now see repeatedly with older adults and their families:
Good care isn't enough if no one is connecting the pieces.
A person may have wonderful physicians, therapists, caregivers, family members and community resources—and still feel overwhelmed trying to coordinate everything.
My own family experiences have made that lesson personal as well. As my parents have grown older and our family has navigated significant healthcare needs, I've experienced what it's like to sit on the family side of the equation—to ask questions, keep track of information, advocate, and wonder whether something important might be getting missed.
That's why I created Cooper Care & Concierge.
I'm naturally the person who wants to figure out what needs to happen, find the right person, ask the next question and make sure the loop gets closed. I enjoy taking something that feels complicated and helping turn it into a manageable plan.
I also understand that independence matters. My goal isn't to take over someone's life or make decisions for them. It's to provide the information, organization, coordination and advocacy that can help older adults maintain as much choice and independence as possible—and give families some of their time back.
The name Cooper Care & Concierge comes from my son, Cooper. He's a daily reminder of the qualities I want reflected in both my life and my work: kindness, integrity, compassion and service to others.
For me, this work is ultimately about more than coordinating services.
It's about helping people feel less alone when life becomes complicated.
- What Care Coordination Can Look Like
When I was in the end stages of Pulmonary Fibrosis, preparing for and recovering from a lung transplant, Melodye McKaye brought calm, organization, and compassion when I needed them most. She not only coordinated my care with extraordinary professionalism, but also gave my primary caregiver the gift of respite and rest, knowing I was in capable, trusted hands.
Her empathy, integrity, and steady support turned a frightening time into one of healing and hope. I am forever grateful for the difference she made in both our lives.

Why Families Work With Cooper Care & Concierge
You don't need another list of phone numbers. You need help figuring out what to do with them.
Cooper Care & Concierge doesn't replace your physicians, family, home-care providers or other professionals. I help connect the people and information already involved, identify what's missing, coordinate next steps and help make sure the plan works in real life.
There's no one-size-fits-all package. Support can be short-term, ongoing, or focused on one specific problem.
Independent. Personal. Private-pay.
No long-term commitment required.
Support built around what you actually need.
Are You a Professional Supporting an Older Adult?
When a client's needs extend beyond your scope, I can help bridge the gap. I collaborate with healthcare providers, senior-living professionals, home-care agencies, fiduciaries, attorneys and community partners to help ensure important needs and next steps don't fall through the cracks.
Want to Know More About My Approach?
I had the opportunity to share the story behind Cooper Care & Concierge and talk about the often-overlooked space between complete independence and needing full-time care. We discuss aging in place, caregiver challenges, care coordination, advocacy, and why families don’t have to wait for a crisis to ask for help.
