Geriatric care management involves an in-depth assessment, developing a care plan, arranging for services, and following up or monitoring care. While you aren’t obligated to implement any part of the suggested care plan, geriatric care managers often suggest potential alternatives you might not have considered, due to their experience and familiarity with community resources. They can also make sure your loved one receives the best possible care and any benefits to which they are entitled.
