What is geriatric care management all about?

It is natural to want to spend quality time with an elderly loved one. Sometimes the actual time spent; however, can be a demanding, exhausting experience. Or sometimes it’s not even a possibility.

Certain factors, such as physical and mental health, financial resources, and the proximity to family members, can complicate any family situation.

Determining what is right. Knowing what the available resources are. And understanding how to tap into them is critical.

This is where a geriatric care manager (GCM) can play an important role in everyone’s well-being.

What is a geriatric care manager?

Geriatric care managers are an excellent resource for people who do not know what they really need or how to make the best use of available services. They specialize in senior care issues, and are able to manage care process to meet short and long-term goals. Geriatric care managers generally have a background in nursing and case management with significant geriatric experience.

When are geriatric care management (GCM) services needed?

There are many reasons why people seek GCM services. These often include one or more of the following:

• An individual’s comfort level with elder care and the decision making process;
• A sudden change in an elder’s health that may require additional care or residency; and
• Complicated issues, such as when psychological, cognitive, physical health, legal and social issues arise.
