Do you
need help
caring for
mom or dad?

Geriatric Care Managers are experienced professionals

who are experts at assessing and meeting the needs of older adults,
both those living in their own homes and those in residential facilities.

When Susan's dad, Joe, was
diagnosed with Alzheimer's,
Susan and her siblings felt
overwhelmed. None of the "kids"
lived nearby, and Joe lived alone.

"We worried that Dad would
forget to take his medication, or
something would go wrong with
the house. If we weren't there
to help, who would?"

Geriatric Care Managers can be a
pillar of support for you and your
aging parent. They can advocate
for your parent when you can't be
present, communicating concerns
to doctors and reporting back to
the family. They can arrange for
meals, coordinate in-home care
and provide emotional support to
older adults and family members
alike.

In a medical emergency, care
managers can provide doctors
with medication information
or communicate advanced
directives. They provide an
informed, trusted voice when
it's most needed.

The care managers strategically
partner with other providers to
offer seniors a comprehensive
array of services that help
coordinate their daily lives and
routines, helping maintain, safety,
dignity and independence.
