What is a Geriatric Care Manager?
A geriatric care manager specializes in assisting older people and their families with long-term care arrangements.
Geriatric Care Managers can help:
- Conduct care-planning assessments to identify problems, eligibility for assistance, and need for services;
- Screen, arrange and monitor in-home help or other services;
- Review financial, legal, or medical issues;
- Act as a liason to families at a distance, making sure things are going well and alerting families to problems;
- Assist with moving an older person to or from a retirement complex, care home, or nursing home;
- Offer counseling and support; and more.
Geriatric Care Managers have extensive knowledge about the costs, quality and availability of services in their community. One call to a geriatric care manager will connect you with the services an older person may need.
