Emerald Care’s Care Management services take a holistic, client-centered approach to helping aging adults and their families experience aging in a safe, supportive, autonomous, and satisfying way. Care Management helps structure a seamless experience, improve quality of care, promote client safety and independence, and relieve anxiety for the client and family.

They take a series of steps to help solve problems of aging adults facing health care challenges. They also help the aging adults and their families implement and monitor these solutions. A Care Manager can also provide preventative services with the goal of helping families anticipate possible needs in the future so that everyone feels supported and better prepared. They forge a positive path forward for you and your loved ones.

It is a multidisciplinary evaluation in which the multiple problems of our client are uncovered, described, and explained, the resources and strengths of the person are catalogued, need for services assessed, and a coordinated plan of care developed to focus on solutions to the client’s issues.

Are you helping care for a loved one and it’s not going as well as you hoped? This is not at all uncommon. Reasons for care management are varied, but are often due to:

• Lack of time to give because of other responsibilities.
• Geographical distance between you and your loved one;
• Challenging family dynamics;
• Unfamiliarity or lack of understanding with complex medical or legal issues; and/or...
• You’re not really sure what to do, what needs to be done, or how to proceed forward?

We provide consultation, assessment, advocacy, and education using our services which include but aren’t limited to an initial consultation, comprehensive assessment, plan of care, medication management, assistance with returning home from the hospital or a rehabilitation facility, and end of live services.
