It’s National Aging Life Care Month, an opportunity to celebrate our profession.
What is an Aging Life Care? What is an Aging Life Care Manager?
Aging Life Care is a holistic, client-centered approach to caring for older adults, dependent adults, and others facing ongoing health challenges.
Aging Life Care Managers®, sometimes called geriatric care managers, are strategic planners with key knowledge and expertise in health and disability, housing, family, crisis intervention, advocacy, legal, financial, and local resources. We work with individuals and their families to help navigate the complexities and issues that arise with a change in health.
We provide an unbiased, yet informed perspective.
As our professional colleague in Florida, Amy O’Rourke says: we have a Crystal Ball into the future. Although each of us is an individual, with a unique history, there are some aspects of aging that can be anticipated as a result of certain conditions or circumstances. We understand the trajectory of a myriad of scenarios if left unaddressed. Our knowledge, experience, and expertise are the crystal ball.
We help families in the midst of “overwhelm” to navigate options for aging well, caring well, and living well.
