What Do We Do?
When we first meet people, for the first time, they are often unsure about what exactly Geriatric or Aging Life Care Managers® do. We work with families who have elderly loved ones that need care. We help the family understand the options available in the community and work with them to get services in place that honor the quality care families need and want. This doesn’t mean that we make a snap decision to move an elderly person into a nursing home or assisted living facility, it actually means that we use our skills, as nurses, to review the entire situation and make the recommendations that will most help the individual, which often includes helping them continue their life in their home. When you need a trusted partner to help you make the best care decisions, you can count on Senior Transitions. Please enjoy our blog series explaining what Geriatric Care Managers do.
