Senior Care Manager Services
Caring for an elder family member can be both rewarding and overwhelming. When you call our 800-GET-CARE service, you can talk through issues and get answers from our experienced geriatric care managers, all of whom are either registered nurses or professional social workers. Have questions? Read our Frequently Asked Questions.
This is a wonderful service, but it it only as good as the staff that makes it happen!
-Ellen B.
Sometimes decisions need to be made quickly and the usual research methods are inadequate. A call to 800-GET-CARE, a brief conversation with the consultant explaining the situation, and an email response suggesting alternatives enabled us to find a new home for our mother -- which we know will be a happy place for her. Without this service, we would not have known about the care center we ultimately choose.
