Support Services | Geriatric Care Management

At HealthOutreach, we understand the unexpected challenges that older adults face each day. Coping with physical ailments and disabilities, financial obligations and social isolation is difficult even for the best prepared. While family and friends can help, providing the necessary assistance and care can still be overwhelming. But now you can obtain the quality of care and life you need through the Geriatric Care Management Program.

The Geriatric Care Management Program is a fee-for-service program available through HealthOutreach that helps older adults and their caregivers obtain the advice, support and care they need. We can aid you in all aspects of short and long-term geriatric care. Whether it’s refining and enacting a plan you’ve developed or helping you to take the first steps toward creating a more secure, comfortable life—we’re available to assist you.

The Geriatric Care Management Program features an extensive system of services to assure the best possible support for our clients. Our services include:

Home visits to evaluate daily living needs
Financial assessment and application for entitlements
Arrangement and monitoring of in-home assistance
Assistance with monthly bill paying, medical claims, and reimbursement forms
Communication and consultation with family members
Liaison with doctors, hospitals and community agencies
Referrals to adult day care and other socialization programs
Referrals to elder law attorneys for financial planning and wills
Evaluation and assistance with nursing home placement
Short- or long-term counseling for emotional issues

While we make every effort to help, we also recognize that every person has the right to self determination and to be treated with dignity and respect. Our Geriatric Care Manager will be involved as little or as much as you need, helping to develop a plan of care that will maximize quality of life for you and your loved ones.
