What is a Care Manager / Aging Life Care Specialist?
Aging Life Care, formerly known as geriatric care management, helps older people and their families address the challenges that many of us face in our later years. Knowledge of resources and approaches that may increase life satisfaction and safety is essential to aging with dignity.
A care manager serves as an advocate for older people, emphasizing individual choice but with realistic assessments and boundaries that support us as we age. An assessment of needs takes into account individual preferences and circumstance to provide supports that are welcomed and appreciated.
Areas of focus include community resources, home safety, supported decision-making, solo aging, family communication, end of life literacy, and healthcare advocacy.
"My mother lives alone, and I am worried that she might fall."
"I live in another state, and I need someone to check on my father."
"I'm a solo ager, and I want to do what I can to remain independent."
"My parents need to move to an assisted living community, and they don't want to move."
"I need help scheduling appointments and communicating with my medical team."
"We aren't sure how to best support our parents. Can we talk with you as a family to sort out ideas?"
"My father seems so alone, and his memory is a concern. How can we help him connect with others?"
