Case management is provided to ensure safe and supported living in the residence of choice and to provide advocacy when families ask for help.

Older and disabled persons face many challenges, worries and have to make difficult decisions. Often their worst fears are unspoken, disguised or never revealed to loved ones. When feelings of isolation, concerns about health and frailty impact a person's safety, nutrition or quality of life, care management is needed to provide advocacy and identify support services.

Who can use the service? Families who are not close by, persons who are isolated, and adult children of aging parents. Elder law attorneys, trust officers, clergy, social service agencies and other concerned professionals may recommend services.

The goal of care management services can be to encourage and provide emotional support to the individual to feel good about receiving help to maintain independence.
