What is a Care Manager?
A Care Manager (also called a Geriatric Care Manager, Elder Care Manager, or Aging Care Manager) is a professional who helps older adults and their families plan, coordinate, and manage care. Think of a Care Manager like a guide who understands the senior care system and helps you make confident decisions—at home or from a distance.

Real-Life Example
Michelle was caring for her mother, Martha, after a stroke. Tension grew between siblings, and Michelle felt exhausted. A Care Manager assessed Martha, coordinated a geriatric medical review, and helped correct medication issues contributing to mood changes. The Care Manager facilitated a family meeting, set clear roles, and created an eldercare agreement. Within months, Martha’s behavior and independence improved, and the family shared responsibilities more fairly—reducing stress for everyone.

FAQs
How is a Care Manager different from a social worker?
Many Care Managers are licensed social workers or nurses, but they focus on hands-on coordination, advocacy, and ongoing care oversight tailored to your goals.
Do Care Managers replace family caregivers?
No. They reduce the burden on families by coordinating services and providing expert guidance, so caregiving is safer and more manageable.
Can a Care Manager help if our family disagrees?
Yes. Care Managers often mediate family discussions, clarify expectations, and create written care agreements.
How quickly can services start?
In non-urgent cases, within days of your assessment. In urgent cases, we help prioritize immediate needs and stabilize the situation first.
What if the suspected abuser lives with the older adult?
Prioritize safety. Involve APS, create a plan with a social worker, and consider respite care or alternative housing if needed.
What credentials should I look for?
Look for professionals with backgrounds in geriatric care, nursing, social work, or mediation; membership in professional associations; and strong local references.
Can you help with dementia care?
Yes. We coordinate dementia-friendly care plans, safety strategies, respite care, and appropriate living options when needed.
