 When faced with major changes in ability, health or mental status, making the right decision can be confusing and complicated. An experienced professional care manager is invaluable for those who need assistance with determining appropriate choices for living arrangements, or access to a variety of available resources.
Coordinated Care Makes a Difference in Outcomes
Only trained professionals with specific geriatric experience are used as Continuum care managers. Our social workers and nurses meet with the client, family, and other advisors to create a workable plan of care based on their individual goals, needs and preferences. Specific components include in-home services, medical advocacy, and living arrangements. Our services are flexible to meet each person’s needs. Some clients only require one meeting to create the plan of care while we assist others on an ongoing basis to implement the plan and follow up.
In the absence of a family member, Continuum is available to act as a surrogate and advocate for the client far beyond care choices. When extraordinary circumstances create a greater need, Continuum is available with experienced professionals to help.
