About Us
Seniors Alone Guardianship and Advocacy Services (SAGAS) was formed in September 2019 as a 501C3 charitable organization to provide patient advocacy and guardianship services to two underserved market segments: low-income senior citizens and disabled adults.
Our team of registered nurses, social workers, attorneys, case managers and non-medical administrators provide the wide spectrum of services needed to aid this most vulnerable population.
Our parent company, NShore Patient Advocates, is a well-respected health care consulting firm. NShore consultants are registered nurses who advocate and manage care for private-pay patients in the Chicagoland area. NShore has achieved great success in using registered nurses as patient advocates and care managers, keeping patients with the ability to pay for service much safer.
The NShore team has significantly reduced hospital readmissions, improved quality of care and provided financial savings to patients by guiding clients through an increasingly complex healthcare system. Teri Dreher, president of NShore, passionately believes that every senior is valuable and should be honored, protected and supported through their challenges in health and self-care. Teri established SAGAS to enable isolated seniors with limited financial resources to access high- quality medical care and enjoy safe living environments as they age.
