About IKOR Florida

IKOR Advocates are independent professionals looking out for the needs of our clients. We go beyond traditional case management by advocating for our clients in every aspect of their life. Our Life Management Assessment provides the foundation for everything we do. Through this assessment, we gain a holistic view of our client’s life and create a Life Management Advocacy Plan tailored to their needs and preferences. In the Life Management Advocacy Plan, you will find expert, unbiased advice that puts the needs of the client first and foremost. Our goal is to achieve an optimal level of wellness and improve coordination of care while providing cost effective, non-duplicative service. From medical advocacy to residential needs assessments to on-site safety assurance evaluations and routine bill pay, IKOR Advocates are the professionals you can rely on.

We understand tending to the needs of seniors and those with disabilities can be overwhelming. Contact us today to learn how IKOR’s unique approach to life management can help you.

Attorney P. Christopher Jaensch received a Bachelor of Arts in history in 1992 and a Juris Doctor from the University of Florida in 1995. Mr. Jaensch is a member of the Florida Bar, the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) and the Sarasota Bar Association. He has 23 years of experience in the field of immigration and is Managing Partner of his successful Sarasota-based law firm. He is also General Counsel, Passport Health of Sarasota/Bradenton, which employs a team of RNs who provide travel medicine consulting and specialty vaccinations. Mr. Jaensch was drawn to IKOR because he could see the benefits of using his legal and medical experience to enhance the well-being of the Sarasota community where he has spent a majority of his life.

Rob Galkoff has spent most of his 28-year career in the international industry delivering customer excellence and care throughout Europe and the U.S. Having simultaneously gained a Bachelor of Arts in business and a professional diploma in marketing, he embarked on a career in retail, marketing and management consultancy before moving to Sarasota in 2013.

Rob started IKOR in Sarasota in 2014 and has steadily built the business with clients throughout the state of Florida. He passed his State qualifications as a Professional Guardian. Rob finds it important to know all of the IKOR clients well and he spends time with them on regular visits.

Rob has a tremendous amount of hands-on experience in the area of children with special needs. He was a longtime and active Trustee of a UK Charity specializing in providing services for children with brain injuries, disabilities and life-limiting conditions. His nephew also suffers from spinal muscular atrophy and has been in an electric wheelchair since the age of one (he is now 9).

“I get a huge amount of personal satisfaction from my work at IKOR and with our clients. Hand on heart, I can say we have extended the lives of many of our clients who treat us like their family (something we reciprocate). Our role at IKOR is to step into the shoes of our clients and make our decisions based on the individuals own wishes – this can be incredibly challenging, but something we spend a great deal of time doing to ensure we give our clients the dignity and respect when they are at their most vulnerable”. 

Sarah Canning-Bridgham is IKOR Suncoast Advocates’ lead RN and Patient Advocate. Sarah has nearly 30 years of nursing experience and has had an advocacy role for most of those years. Sarah has a career background in critical care, home health, health care management, and adult and pediatric health care. In addition, she has years of experience as a Concierge Nurse working with clients of a well-known Boston cardiologist, as well as private high-profile clients in Kennebunkport, Maine, and brings extensive knowledge and years of experience to her IKOR clients. Sarah’s professional demeanor and ability to communicate easily with clients, family members and physicians allows her to truly advocate for the best health care possible for each of her clients. Sarah was attracted to the role of RN Advocate at IKOR because she knows first-hand the devastation of seeing a loved one experience poorly managed health care, and the difficulties in navigating the medical and health-related fields of practice when families are ill-equipped to advocate for themselves. Knowing the ins and outs of navigating communications with physicians and providers gives her an edge when advocating for her clients. Sarah often says how rewarding it is to help those in need of the unique and compassionate care that IKOR Suncoast Advocates provides to each of their clients.

Helping others find proper care and live a life of peace and happiness is her life’s mission.
