About Us: Alighieri Care Management

Principal Ruth Lippin's background as both attorney and therapist uniquely qualifies her as a care manager. Her strong advocacy and counseling skills allow her to coordinate multiple services for her clients; advocate for them when they are not receiving the care they are entitled to; and address any psychosocial issues that may arise.

Originally a public-service attorney, Ms. Lippin developed an interest in mental health, which led to her second career as a cognitive-behavioral therapist, specializing in anxiety disorders and depression.

When her elderly mother-in-law needed assistance, Ms. Lippin personally experienced how difficult and time-consuming it was to coordinate high-quality care for elderly and disabled people. While employed as a hospital discharge planner, she was introduced to the field of professional care management and realized she had found the perfect way to combine all of the skills she had acquired over the years.

Ms. Lippin is a member of the National Association of Professional Geriatric Care Managers. She has a JD from the City University of New York School of Law and is a member of both the New York State and New Jersey bars. She has an MSW from Columbia University and is a licensed clinical social worker and certified family mediator.
