When care giving for an aging or incapacitated family member or loved one becomes overwhelming it may be time for a professional Case Manager. Other instances where a Case Manager may be needed are:
- There is limited or no family support.
- Your family has become involved with helping the individual and needs guidance regarding available services.
- The person you are caring for has multiple medical or psychological issues.
- The person you are caring for is unable to live safely in their current environment.
- Your family is either “burned out” or uncertain of care solutions.
- Your family has a limited time and/or expertise in dealing with your loved ones’ chronic care needs.
- Your family is at odds regarding care decisions.
- The person you are caring for is dissatisfied with current care providers and requires advocacy.
- The person you are caring for is confused about their financial and or legal situation.
- Your family needs education and/or direction to deal with behaviors associated with dementia.
