Care Management

As we age, our health care needs grow more complex and require careful planning. Homecare Solution’s unique approach to care management involves the services of a Registered Nurse as well as a Licensed Social Worker. By combining both disciplines, our clients receive a comprehensive assessment of their physical, emotional, mental and social environment.

At Homecare Solutions, our goal is to help our clients achieve the highest quality of life based on their particular situation and abilities. Whether your needs have to do with isolation, mobility, health or other issues, a geriatric care manager will help find and arrange the needed services. The care manager will develop a plan, set up the services needed and oversee, on an ongoing basis, all aspects of your care. We will keep you and your family informed of any changes that may be necessary.

Geriatric care managers, sometimes called case managers, are human service professionals. Many have graduate degrees in nursing, social work, psychology, or law. All have experience or training in gerontology, which prepares them to do the following:

• Assess your care needs, whether social, emotional, physical or a combination of the three.
• Identify the services in your community that can meet your needs and will fit your budget.
• Provide information and referrals so that you and your family can make informed decisions. Referrals might be to an attorney who specializes in elder law or a geriatrician.
• Make all arrangements for health care services.
• Identify and evaluate long-term care options and, if needed, facilitate the process of moving into a long-term care facility.
• Oversee your care plan on a regular basis and make recommendations when changes may be necessary.
• Keep you and your family informed of all aspects of your care plan.
• Act as an advocate for you and your family.
• Crisis management, when you need immediate intervention.

Our care managers are certified by the National Association of Professional Geriatric Care Managers.
