Care Management

Growing older is another part of our life's process. These years can be very satisfying, but they may also bring many challenges and concerns. Stress, illness, loneliness and loss are only a few
of these.

With so many people living longer and many families both near and far seeking support, geriatric care management provides advice and assistance to families in planning care for aging family members. Families turn to care management to define the needs of an elderly loved one and find support services both in the home and in the community.

Eldercare Services
Care management services has several components:
•
Family Consultation – Provides information on community options and resources.
•
Geriatric Assessment – A comprehensive evaluation is conducted of the older adult, within the home environment, to determine the needs of the older adult. The evaluation includes an assessment of the older adult’s cognitive, physical and emotional status.
•
Plan of Care – The care manager will develop a customized plan of care, which identifies the needs of the old adult and what services are needed.
•
Recommendations – Recommendations are provided to the older adult and the family. Information and education about applicable entitlement services, financial, and legal issues may be discussed as part of the recommendations. Referrals and resources are provided.
•
On-going Care Management – A care manager implements the care plan, coordinates in-home support services and monitors the older adults changing needs. The care manager provides the family with progress reports noting any changes in services.
