Answering Your Top Questions About Geriatric Care Management
What does a geriatric care manager do?
A geriatric care manager acts as a professional advocate and guide for your aging loved one. They help create care plans, coordinate services, attend medical appointments, assist with housing or safety decisions, and support families through every season of aging.
When should we consider working with a care manager?
Many families reach out during transitions, like after a new diagnosis, hospitalization, or concerns about memory or mobility. But you don't need a crisis to benefit. We can help anytime aging starts to feel overwhelming or unclear.
How much does geriatric care management cost?
Costs vary depending on the level of support needed. Some families work with us for a short-term consultation, while others rely on ongoing care management. We're always upfront about pricing and will talk you through your options during the free consultation.
