Geriatric Care Management: What to Expect
-
Initial Consultation & Assessment:
Our process begins with a comprehensive, in-person or virtual evaluation of your loved one's physical, cognitive, social, and emotional well-being. We conduct a thorough review of medical history, medications, and relevant legal documents, and engage in an in-depth discussion with family members to fully understand your concerns and goals. -
Personalized Care Plan Development:
Based on the findings from our assessment, we create a detailed, written Care Plan with clear, actionable recommendations. This personalized roadmap may include suggestions for in-home care, medical specialists, community resources, home safety modifications, or alternative housing options tailored to your loved one's specific needs. -
Care Coordination & Implementation:
We put the Care Plan into action by coordinating with doctors, scheduling appointments, and arranging for all necessary services. When in-home support is recommended, we ensure a seamless transition by introducing the ideal caregivers from our own highly-qualified and compassionate team, guaranteeing a perfectly integrated and responsive care experience. -
Ongoing Monitoring & Advocacy:
We provide continuous oversight to ensure the Care Plan remains effective and your loved one is thriving. This includes regular visits, consistent communication with your family, and attending medical appointments to ensure your questions are answered.

Geriatric Care Management: FAQs
What is a Geriatric Care Manager?
A Geriatric Care Manager is a health and human services professional, like a nurse or social worker, who acts as your family’s guide. They provide expert advice and coordinate care to improve your loved one’s quality of life and reduce family stress.
How is a Care Manager different from an in-home caregiver?
A Care Manager is the planner and coordinator, while an in-home caregiver provides the hands-on care. The Care Manager assesses the big picture, creates the care plan, coordinates with doctors, and manages services. The in-home caregiver then executes the daily tasks within that plan, such as assisting with personal care, meals, or medication reminders. At our agency, they work together as a unified team to provide seamless support.
What are the signs that our family might need a Geriatric Care Manager?
You may benefit from our services if you are experiencing challenges such as:
- A recent hospitalization, fall, or new medical diagnosis.
- Feeling overwhelmed managing multiple doctors, medications, and appointments.
- Living at a distance from your loved one and worrying about their safety.
- Family disagreements about the best course of action for care.
- Noticing that your loved one is struggling with daily tasks, memory, or isolation.
How much Does Geriatric Care Management Cost?
Pricing is customized to each family’s need. Monthly support starts as low as $250/month.
My loved one is resistant to accepting help. How can you assist?
This is a very common and delicate situation. Our Care Managers are skilled at building rapport and trust directly with older adults. As an objective third party, we focus on goals like maintaining independence and staying safe at home. We can facilitate gentle conversations that reframe “care” as a tool to help them keep the freedom and lifestyle they want.
How are your services paid for? Is this covered by insurance?
Geriatric Care Management is typically a private pay service. It is generally not covered by Medicare or standard health insurance. However, some Long-Term Care insurance policies may cover a portion of the cost for assessment or care coordination. We can assist you in reviewing your policy and will provide a clear and transparent breakdown of our fees so you can make an informed decision for your family.
Do we have to use your in-home care services to sign up for Geriatric Care Management?
Not at all. Our Geriatric Care Management is a standalone service designed to provide you with an expert plan and professional guidance. While many families find value in our seamless, integrated approach to care, you are never required to use our in-home caregivers. Our primary goal is to create the best possible care plan for your loved one, and we will happily coordinate with any provider you choose.
