At The Way to Aging serving Irving, TX, our geriatric care manager plays a crucial role in supporting seniors to maintain their daily lives. Specializing in geriatric care management, our well-trained manager strives to help seniors retain as much independence as possible. This involves thoughtful consideration of various residential alternatives, including assisted living facilities, supportive housing, or remaining at home with necessary assistance.
To become a geriatric care manager, one must undergo specialized training in social work, gerontology, counseling, or nursing. The advantages of geriatric care management extend to both seniors and their families. Our care manager can provide ongoing monitoring, potentially preventing unnecessary hospitalizations or costly crises. Particularly beneficial in situations where family members are geographically distant or when family dynamics require a neutral facilitator, a geriatric care manager serves as a valuable resource.
Seniors, at times, may harbor concerns about losing their independence and may not feel entirely comfortable sharing certain fears or worries with loved ones. A geriatric care manager serves as a trusted and empathetic ally, addressing these concerns and fostering a supportive environment for the well-being of seniors and their families.
