How Can a Geriatric Care Manager Help You?

A Geriatric Care Manager is a professional who is experienced and skilled in working with older adults and their families and has extensive knowledge about resources in your area. They are available for consultation or to assess difficult situations and develop a plan to address short and long-term concerns, maximizing your elder’s independence and well-being.

How Care Management Works

Personal Assessment
ElderTree will conduct a personal assessment with the family and the elder. Interview questions cover a range of topics relevant to your elder's health and living situation, including everyday activities, nutritional status, safety, memory, depression, finances, and more.

Developing a Care Plan
A Care Plan includes the results of the assessment, recommendations, and referrals for local care resources(Elder law Attorneys, Home Care Agencies, Adult day Care Providers, Assisted Living Facilities, etc.). ElderTree will go into great depth in explaining the details of the plan, what led to each recommendation, what the next steps are, and what you can expect.

Arranging Services
ElderTree helps to arrange and monitor services to meet the individual needs of your loved one. ElderTree is uniquely connected in the community. We know many of the eldercare services and their reputations, and can help ensure success by working with others whose history and strengths we understand.

Ongoing Care Management and Communication
Our first meeting establishes a foundation for short and long-term goals. Follow-up visits will be compared to that initial assessment to determine what adjustments need to me made. Through weekly or bi-weekly visits, we can identify issues early and address them.
