What is a Geriatric Care Manager? A geriatric care manager is a professional, often a nurse, social worker, or gerontologist, who specializes in assisting older adults and their families with coordinating care and managing various aspects of aging. Their key responsibilities include: - Conducting comprehensive assessments to evaluate the older adult's medical, social, emotional, financial, and living situation needs. - Developing personalized care plans and making recommendations for appropriate services and resources. - Arranging and coordinating services such as in-home care, transportation, housing options, legal and financial assistance. - Monitoring the older adult's condition and needs over time, making adjustments to the care plan as necessary. - Acting as an advocate and liaison between the older adult, family members, and care providers. - Providing counseling, support, and education to the older adult and their family caregivers. Geriatric care managers offer expertise in navigating the complexities of aging and can help families make informed decisions, access resources, and ensure their loved one receives appropriate care. Their services are typically paid for privately on a fee-for-service basis. #geriatriccaremanagers #geriatriccaremanager #geriatriccaremanagement
