Care Management
After an assessment is conducted and a care plan is created, some clients want or need someone to stay on board and implement the care plan. Clients may not have family, family may live out of town, or the family may be busy juggling careers and children. Whatever the reason, we are available to be the professional family member you can lean on in your time of need. Essentially a privately hired social worker, Aging Life Care Managers function as an advocate, a problem solver, a resource, a confidant, and an emotional support for families. Our work is highly varied because our clients’ needs are varied, but could include:
- Coordinating other service providers
- Weekly or monthly visits to the home or facility
- Screening and training caregivers
- Medication management in the home
- Patient advocacy at physician visits and hospitalizations
- Communicating updates to family and professionals
- Facility placement and move management
- Dementia care support
Whether it is short term or long term, we provide you with answers, manage your challenges, and to step into action when you need professional support. All of our care managers are members of the Aging Life Care Association and are held to their Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics. Our goal is to reduce your stress, improve quality of life, and provide peace of mind.
