JFS Geriatric Care
Managers are professional experts when it comes to the aging process. Their
compassion and knowledge will help you manage the growing and complex demands
and responsibilities of caring for yourself or your loved one. With personalized
short-term solutions and long-range plans, we can ensure safety, independence,
and a high quality of life.
Care Management
Process
A Geriatric
Care Manager will visit with the older adult to address any and all concerns and
conduct a comprehensive needs assessment. Family members are encouraged to be a
part of this process.
Issues addressed include:
• Family issues
• Transportation
• Meal delivery and shopping
• Caregiver services
• Paperwork organization and bill paying
• Socialization
• Safety
• Medical and legal needs
• Medical appointments
• Home repair and maintenance
• Relocation and moving
• Helping adjust to a death, illness, retirement, or move
The Geriatric Care Manager will work with the older adult and their family to
develop a detailed plan of care, including recommendations and referrals.
Geriatric Care Managers act as advocates, consultants, and educators. Many older
adults and families choose to have the services of a care manager ongoing in
order to monitor, arrange, and provide for the above services.
Are you a caregiver?
Do you have responsibilities caring for an older adult family member or friend?
Many adult children are part of the sandwich generation, caring for both the
needs of their children and the needs of their aging parents. Geriatric Care
Managers are available to meet with you to help explore the resources, options
and possibilities available to you as a caregiver and your family.
