Care Management & Social Work

Care Management and Social Work Services provide professional assistance in assessing needs, planning and coordinating services for individuals age 60 and older. They help to provide support for the more frail and vulnerable adults to manage life’s everyday challenges.

Our care managers are professional social workers and nurses who are trained to assess the living situation of frail or vulnerable older people and to find community services or resources to help meet their care needs. Our care managers arrange a time for a home visit to meet the client in their home environment, providing a better perspective in determining the service required. Care planning begins with a comprehensive assessment of the elderly person's needs, abilities, circumstances and support. From the assessment, a detailed plan for home care is developed. With the elderly person's permission and participation, Aging Partners Personal & Family Services counselor arranges and coordinates the delivery of various in-home services. The elderly person's needs and care plan are reviewed regularly. Adjustments are made, as necessary, to maintain his or her safety and quality of life at home on a long-term basis.

Social work service is determined to be more short term involvement with the client. Our Social workers furnish the same professional services as case management, but it is less intense and more temporary in nature. Our social workers address difficult changes, re-certification or clarification of applications and work with other agencies on behalf of client.
