Care Managers
Care managers - also called geriatric care managers or case managers
- represent a fairly new development in the care of people with chronic, debilitating
diseases such as Alzheimer's. As their name implies, care managers coordinate
the services and resources that can make a difference in the overall care of
a person with Alzheimer's. Professional care managers are highly qualified individuals
from the fields of social work, nursing, gerontology and psychology. They act
as advocates for the elderly and know what services are available in your
region, how to access them, and how to negotiate the government-supported programs
that can help pay for them.
