Geriatric Care Managers

JFS geriatric care managers are skilled professionals who specialize in assisting older adults and those responsible for their care in addressing the challenges of late life. They offer advice and support needed to make compassionate and wise decisions, while at the same time, affirming the older adult’s dignity and worth. JFS geriatric care managers can help:
  • Provide comprehensive in-home assessments to identify needs and present a plan of care
  • Coordinate and monitor services to ensure peace of mind for everyone involved
  • Offer counseling and support to older adults and their families and serve as a liaison to families who live far away
  • Evaluate and make recommendations for alternate living arrangements as needed
  • Provide crisis intervention
  • Provide advocacy throughout the health care system
  • Give information and referrals that connect the older adult with community services
  • Educate and counsel caregivers about their own self-care and priorities
  • Review financial and legal issues that may impact the older adult’s situation
JFS geriatric care managers charge for care management services based on a sliding-fee scale. Many long-term care insurance policies are accepted for such services.
