Service Detail

Comprehensive Support for Aging Adults and Their Families

The GeroMind Geriatric Care Management Program offers a client-centered approach to planning and caring for aging and dependent adults. Our professional staff works with older adults and their families to navigate aging challenges and make informed decisions that enhance their quality of life.

Our Mission

To provide expert guidance, resources, and support that empowers older adults and relieves the stress, worry, and time demands on family caregivers.

Aging Well Through Care Management

Personalized Care Management

Comprehensive assessments and regular monitoring
Our professional staff conducts thorough evaluations of physical health, cognitive function, emotional well-being, living environment, and support systems. Through regular check-ins and monitoring, we identify changing needs early, preventing crises before they occur. This gives caregivers peace of mind knowing a trained professional is periodically checking in on their loved one’s well-being.

Strategic planning and effective problem-solving
Based on assessment findings, we develop customized care plans that address immediate concerns while anticipating future needs. When challenges arise—from medication management issues to care transitions—our team provides practical solutions backed by experience. This relieves adult children from the burden of researching options and making difficult decisions alone.

Strong advocacy for the older adult’s wishes and needs
Our goal is to make sure your loved one’s voice is heard in all care decisions, preserving their dignity and autonomy. Our staff acts as a dedicated representative in healthcare settings, with service providers, and within family discussions. This advocacy means older adults maintain control over their lives while caregivers feel confident their loved one’s authentic wishes are being respected and implemented.

Complete Health Management

Coordination of physical, mental health, and dementia-related care
Our professional staff oversees various aspects of health management, from scheduling appointments to helping schedule support for the older adult. We address a wide spectrum of health concerns, including often-overlooked mental health and cognitive issues. This comprehensive approach reduces the risk of fragmented care, helping older adults maintain better overall health while relieving family members from the complex task of coordinating multiple providers.

Attendance at medical appointments (upon request)
When family members cannot be present, our staff can attend important medical visits, taking detailed notes and asking pertinent questions. We serve as an extra set of eyes and ears, ensuring critical information is captured and understood. This service gives both older adults and their caregivers confidence that medical recommendations are accurately communicated and implemented, even when family lives at a distance.

Facilitation of clear communication between healthcare providers, clients, and families
We bridge communication gaps between doctors, specialists, the older adult, and family members, ensuring everyone shares the same understanding of health status and care plans. Our staff translates medical jargon into clear, actionable information. This improved communication leads to better healthcare decisions and prevents misunderstandings that could impact your loved one’s wellbeing.

Guidance on appropriate services such as home health and hospice
When additional care services become necessary, we help identify the right type and level of support at the right time. Our knowledge of the healthcare system allows us to connect clients with quality providers and monitor these services for effectiveness. This guidance saves families from the overwhelming process of researching and evaluating multiple service options during what is often an emotional and stressful time.

Additional Services

Evaluation of current living situations for safety and suitability
Assistance with long-distance and in-home caregiving challenges
Mediation of family conflicts and differences regarding care decisions
Access to local, cost-effective community resources

All our care plans are individually tailored following a comprehensive assessment and can be modified as needs change, always in consultation with the older adult and their family.

With GeroMind Geratric Care Management Program Managed Care, you gain a knowledgeable professional staff dedicated to ensuring the highest quality of life for your loved one while providing peace of mind for the entire family.
