Geriatric care managers
A geriatric care manager, usually a nurse or social worker, can provide services to support in-home care and care planning. The manager may:
- Evaluate in-home care needs
- Recommend or coordinate care services
- Assist with short- and long-term care planning
- Provide support or recommendations for addressing difficult care issues
Some local government agencies and charities offer geriatric care consulting services for free or for a sliding-scale fee.
