Case Management & Social Service Coordination

Social service coordination is available to all Turnstone clients at no charge. Social workers/case managers will work with clients and their families to determine which Turnstone services are appropriate and review funding options, as well as provide referrals and information about helpful community resources.

For more information, contact Kathy Baer, Director of Social Services, at (260) 483-2100 or [email protected].

Being diagnosed with a neuromuscular disease can present a lot of questions and concerns, but you do not need to go through your journey alone. Turnstone’s Neuromuscular Support Program provides support to individuals and their families impacted by neuromuscular disease, helping you “stay ahead of the disease” by addressing ongoing and anticipated needs.

A Turnstone social worker is available to assist with needs in the following areas:

- Helping identify and navigate through available resources

- Providing regular check-ins as determined by the client and/or caregiver

- Providing guidance with anticipated needs related to the progression of the disease

- Exploration of possible funding sources

- Assisting with equipment needs

Turnstone sponsors a support group for spouses and caregivers of those affected by Parkinson’s disease every Wednesday from 10:30-11:30 am. The group provides an open and supportive atmosphere that encourages caregivers and families affected by the disease to interact and exchange information. For more information, please contact an adult social worker at (260) 483-2100.

Turnstone also offers an exercise group and a communication group for the client with Parkinson’s disease. For more information, click here.


Turnstone is pleased to contribute to FINDER, an Indiana Disability Resource portal funded by AWS Foundation. FINDER gives people 24/7 access to a comprehensive range of community resources designed to improve their quality of life. Visit FINDER to research and discover resources that fit your specific needs.

Managing mental health is essential for the well-being of Hoosiers across our state and communities around the world, especially during the dynamics of the COVID-19 pandemic.

To provide resources that help support mental wellness, Indiana's Family and Social Services Administration and the Division of Mental Health and Addiction recently introduced BeWellIndiana.org.

We encourage all Hoosiers, including those with disabilities, to use this website as a resource to access links to trusted news sources, tips for staying healthy and safe at home, access to addiction recovery support, and more.

“It’s been really nice to be able to just communicate with one team because they’re all at the same organization. If we have concerns, everyone’s willing to talk about them.”
