Geriatric Care Managers: A Profile of an Emerging Profession, American Association of Retired Person (AARP):"Geriatric care management can be a valuable option for older persons and their families who can afford such services. Care management generally is defined as a service that assesses an individual's medical and social service needs, and then coordinates assistance from paid service providers and unpaid help from family and friends to enable persons with disabilities to live with as much independence as possible. From assessment of needs to advice on available resources, a well-trained care manager can help individuals to remain as independent as possible, to live in one's home with assistance, or to assess other living arrangements such as supportive housing or assisted living facilities." ******************************************************

They then assist with any appointments, interviews, and other paperwork and make all preparations for needed in-home care or arrange for a transition to a facility. They review all options clearly and discuss them with the family. Once services are set up, they can monitor and coordinate them, and revise the plan if needed. This gives the family assurance that an objective, knowledgeable professional is available to maintain personal contact with the older person, caregivers and family." ******************************************************

Geriatric Care Managers: Who Are They? What Do They Do? by Pearlbea Labier LCSW, Selfhelpmagazine.com:"Because it is a relatively new profession, people often ask what a geriatric care manager is, and what a geriatric care manager does. Briefly, a geriatric care manager is a professional who develops and implements a plan to assist elders and their families with all aspects of long-term care. The care manager should have a graduate degree in social work or nursing and be certified or licensed.
Our culture has become transient. Families are often separated by many miles and many children find themselves juggling careers that are demanding, families, and the responsibility of caring for an aging parent. Ideally, it would be perfect to live in a society where our parents and our elderly could be cared for easily, where extended families were in close proximity, and where both family members were not working full time. The reality is that for most of us this is not the case. There are many older people who live alone, far from children and other relatives. Even for those who live near children, the fact remains that all family members may be working and may not be in a position to do all that is required. When older people begin to have trouble coping with their daily lives, they often cannot turn to family members for help, and often, even more importantly, they do not wish to burden those they love with their care. Under these circumstance a geriatric care manager can be very useful." ******************************************************
What is a Geriatric Geriatric Care Manager? Seniormag.com:"Geriatric Geriatric Care Managers provide a variety of services for seniors and caregivers. A Geriatric Geriatric Care Manager generally provides a home assessment and then creates a senior care plan recommendation based on the interview.
Of course, you are not obligated to implement any portion of the care plan, but at least you will have the necessary tools to understand many of the home dynamics that are often over-looked due to being emotionally close to the senior or living too far away."
