Navigating through the healthcare system, housing changes, and life transitions can be overwhelming and full of highly charged issues for family members. Sometimes disagreements can arise around these difficult care decisions. A good Care Manager sees the client through a clear holistic lens of experience and knowledge, and helps families evaluate needs and formulate a plan.

​

Care Managers help with:

• Care Management - Often a Social worker or Healthcare professional who guides and advocates for older or disabled adults and their families through health care and housing systems.

• Power of Attorney for Healthcare/Health Care Proxy - A trusted person one grants authority to make medical and end of life care decisions on ones behalf.

• Health Care Advocacy – Professionals and others who empowers patients to help improve health outcomes.
