Geriatric Care Management Services
Assisting seniors and their families

Professional geriatric care managers provide a variety of services to elderly individuals and their families. Often family members are overwhelmed and frustrated with either the lack of information or the overload of information needed to care for their aging loved one. Care managers can ease the feeling of helplessness by providing the following services:

• An initial assessment is provided to identify the elderly adult's personal and financial  needs and capabilities. The ultimate goal is to enhance the client's overall level of functioning, promote independence, and provide the least restrictive living situation possible.

• Home health and/or homemaker/companion services can be arranged if needed and monitored to insure quality service.

• Counseling is available to both the client and family to help them understand and adjust to the aging process. 

• Placement assistance and continued monitoring are provided should placement in an assisted living facility or nursing home become needed.

• Crisis management services help insure peace of mind when family members live at a distance. 

• Transportation to medical appointments and social events can be arranged to promote the physical, mental, and emotional health of each client.

• Money management services are available as needed.

• Information and referrals to community resources, medical providers, and legal council is available.
