fREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

When is a care manager needed?

A care manager is helpful when caring for a family member becomes overwhelming due to work, distance, or other obligations. They bridge the gap by coordinating with direct care providers and community professionals to ensure the best care, especially for families living far away.

Don’t care facilities handle everything?

Not exactly. While some care facilities will take care care of your loved one's basic medical, nutritional and transportation needs, there often are other specialty areas that frequently need to be addressed. Care managers take a more holistic view and are in tune with real-life issues and health concerns that emerge as a person ages, or as a person faces cognitive or physical challenges. Care managers utilize a wealth of resources within the community of social workers, nurses, psychologists, elder-law attorneys, fiduciaries and other care professionals who can best help you and your loved one.
