What is Geriatric Care Management?

• In-home assessment with client and loved ones
• Advocating for the individual to help he/she remain independent. Ensuring he/she is treated with dignity, respect and receives all the required services.
• Formulating an appropriate plan of care in conjunction with physicians, and professional caregivers that includes specific recommendations for the individual.
• We will monitor a client's mental/cognitive ability in performing activities of daily living. We will accompany our clients to doctor appointments, and monitor any physical or cognitive changes happening over time.
• Hiring and coordinating a plan for home health aides, 24-hour live ins, medical transportation, housecleaning and meal delivery or meal preparation. In addition, we will assist with ordering durable medical equipment such as canes, walkers, wheelchairs, etc.
• Health care coordination
• Serve as the care "lifeline" between the elderly, and those families separated by distance and/or circumstances.
• Assistance and guidance with exploring and selecting the most appropriate retirement community, assisted living facility, or nursing facility for your loved one.
• Provide phone consultations/email communication with family or loved ones who live at a distance.
• Assistance with navigating the complexities of Medicaid eligibility, and other health insurance-related issues.
• Provide access to local, county, state, and national resources available to the elderly.
