Careplan’s Geriatric Care Manager will help you evaluate and monitor your parent in their home. Also, the Care Manager will assist in determining the type of services that are right for the senior. They will assist the family in order to engage and monitor those services. Above all, the most valuable service we can offer families is to understand your situation as well as create the most viable and sustainable solutions. It all starts with a home care assessment by a Certified Geriatric Care Manager specializing in assessing mental and physical well-being.
The geriatric home care assessment aids in the diagnosis of medical conditions, development of treatment and follow-up plans, coordination of management of care, and evaluation of long-term care needs and optimal placement.
In contrast to a standard medical evaluation, the geriatric assessment differs by including non-medical domains as well as emphasizing functional capacity and quality of life. It usually yields a more complete and relevant list such as medical problems, functional problems, and psycho-social issues. As a result, the home care assessment findings are used to develop an individualized care plan. Our Care Managers are ready to answer any questions you may have.
“I am a social worker in the Cleveland area and have had the pleasure of working with Bridget Ritossa several times in assisting with the coordination of various services and needs of her clients. She has always been prompt, professional, but, above all, caring and compassionate. Bridget alleviates much of the stress and anxiety that comes with assisting a love one, especially from a distance. She is an asset to families and clients alike.”
