NEW! Geriatric Care Management Services From
Take Care
Recognizing a need in the community and among our clients, we are now providing geriatric care management services. This is a highly personalized service, tailored to each family’s unique situation. You determine the services your family receives based on your particular needs and the level of guidance you seek. Some of the benefits of geriatric care management include:
An extensive health, well-being, and safety assessment that’s kept up to date so you know all the facts. Easy-to-use tools, daily or weekly calendars, and a comprehensive personal health record to help older adults understand and follow doctors’ treatment plans. These are organized in print and electronically. A plan to keep you living independently as long as possible. If it’s time to move, we can help you understand and evaluate living options such as independent and assisted living, nursing homes, and Alzheimer’s care facilities, so you can feel good about the decision you make. If you’re a caregiver, you can be well informed about your family member’s health, any changes that occur, and receive guidance on your role as a caregiver. Security and peace of mind. Knowing that professional support and coordination from Take Care is available on a routine basis or in case of a crisis can ease your concerns. Careful scrutiny of all health care bills and insurance claims so you know you’re paying the correct amount for the services received. A concise, wallet-sized personal reference card with important doctor, medication, and contact information readily available for doctor visits or emergencies.
Take Care offers you a variety of services that range from support on an hourly basis to address an immediate issue to monthly, ongoing services. Some of the available services include:
In-home assessments and ongoing home visits. Our health care managers will visit you at home to assess your health, any safety concerns in the home, needed home services (such as light housekeeping, a hired companion, or home nursing), and ongoing issues.
Assessment of housing alternatives. We use our resources and experience to help you evaluate alternative living options, as well as specific communities and facilities.
Facilitation of family communication. Our health care managers serve as skilled, objective third parties in helping your family weigh the options and make decisions. Our technology allows us to keep your family informed about visits to medical providers, home visits by our health care managers, and other health care information.
Documentation of health care provider recommendations. We can accompany you to health care provider visits and create written documentation of provider recommendations for you and your family.
Caregiver support. Just as each family situation is unique, our caregiver support is tailored to your needs. We understand the demands placed on caregivers and understand ways we can support you.
Other services. While not all available services are listed above, Take Care’s health care managers will always discuss any unique requirements with you and try to meet your needs.
