Working with Geriatric Care Managers

As an Certified Aging in Place Specialist, Jim Donohoue, Sr. Director of Construction for Rocky Mountain Independence Services of Denver stands behind the guidance and utilization of Geriatric Care Managers (GCMs) and Occupational Therapists (OTs).

Whether you want to age in place, or weighing out options for community living for yourself or loved ones, consider hiring a geriatric care manager. Their guidance can help you from start to finish in obtaining your needs and preferences for services in geriatric care, including modifying your home, long-term care placement and services.

Geriatric care managers have training in gerontology, social work, nursing or counseling, enabling them to play a critical role helping you resolve long-term care needs and lessening the weight of these decisions on family remembers and children.

GCM conduct care-planning assessments to identify potential problems, eligibility for certain types of assistance, and need for services; review financial, legal, or medical issues; crisis intervention; acting as a liaison between parents and children who live in different parts of the country; and counseling and support. They help parents maintain their role as parents and children as children, by assisting in the necessary decisions.
