Care Management provides efficiency and flexibility through our client-centered approach. What is a Care Manager? A Care Manager is a professional who specializes in assisting clients and their families with long-term or short-term care arrangements, as well as those with disabilities.
Who uses Care Management? Clients who prefer not to burden family members, family members who live out of town, family members with time constraints and multiple obligations, clients and families facing complex health needs with limited medical knowledge.
How can Care Management help? We act as a liaison to families at a distance making sure things are going well and alerting families to problems. We assist with recommendations and coordination for a client to or from a retirement complex, assisted living facility, nursing home or their own home. We provide consumer education and advocacy by offering counseling, information and crisis intervention.
Patient advocates are hard to come by in today's medical community. We will be available when it is not always possible for family members to be there. Advocates for the Family, Care Management program will provide resources, guidance and emotional support needed with these delicate matters.
