GERIATRIC CARE MANAGER

WHAT IS A GERIATRIC CARE MANAGER?

A geriatric care manager, often a licensed nurse or social worker specializing in geriatrics, acts as a "professional relative" who assists seniors and their families in identifying needs and finding ways to meet those needs. These specially trained professionals are dedicated to making daily life easier and more manageable for seniors.

How a Geriatric Care Manager Can Help:

• Resource Identification: Help find and connect you with resources and services that simplify your daily routine.

• Long-Term Care Planning: Collaborate with you to develop a comprehensive long-term care plan tailored to your unique needs.

• Service Coordination: Locate and arrange the necessary services to support your health and well-being.

• Consistent Check-Ins: Regularly check in to ensure your needs are being met and adjust plans as necessary.

Geriatric care managers are particularly beneficial when family members live far apart. They provide peace of mind by ensuring consistent care and support for your loved ones. For more information on geriatric care management, you can follow this [link].
