Organization:
Jewish Social Services Agency
Geriatric care managers meet with clients either at a JSSA office location or in their home to help address a wide range of concerns and to conduct a comprehensive needs assessment. Family members are encouraged to be a part of this process. After the initial needs assessment, the care manager will work with the older adult and their family to develop a detailed plan of care, including recommendations and referrals.
Services could include:
- Assistance with medical appointments, including transportation
- Communication and family issues
- Home-delivered meals
- Home repair and maintenance coordination
- Medical and legal needs coordination
- Monitoring home care services (housekeeping, personal care)
- Paperwork organization and bill paying
- Relocation and moving assistance
- Safety concerns
- Socialization issues
- Shopping and errands (through JSSA’s volunteer programs)
Clients are provided access to:
- Mental health counseling to address a variety of difficult life challenges and situations (such as anxiety, caregiving, depression, dementia, family concerns, grief, health concerns, making difficult decision, moving and retirement issues)
- JSSA and community workshops and groups
- JSSA and community resources
JSSA’s care managers act as advocates, consultants, and educators prioritizing the unique needs of each of their clients.
