What is Geriatric Care Management?
A geriatric care manager provides specialized services for seniors and their families during the search for senior care services. Part social worker, part advocate and part educator, a geriatric care manager examines the situation holistically, considering important factors such as:
-
Mental health
-
Physical health
-
Financial resources
-
Personal preferences
Using this information as a starting point, the Care Connect Care Manager acts as a knowledgeable and experienced guide, helping to identify a senior’s needs and determine the appropriate type, level and source of care to help meet their needs.
