Care Management Process
Geriatric Care Managers visit clients to address any and all concerns and conduct a comprehensive needs assessment. Family members are encouraged to be a part of this process. After the initial needs assessment, the Geriatric Care Manager will work with the older adult and their family to develop a detailed plan of care, including recommendations and referrals.
Issues addressed include: 
- Family issues
- Transportation
- Meal delivery and shopping
- Caregiver services
- Paperwork organization and bill paying
- Socialization
- Safety
- Medical and legal needs
- Medical appointments
- Home repair and maintenance
- Relocation and moving
- Helping adjust to a death, illness, retirement, or move
Geriatric Care Managers act as advocates, consultants, and educators. Many older adults and families choose to have the services of a care manager ongoing in order to monitor, arrange, and provide for the above services.
Fees are based on a sliding scale. All Care Managers are bonded and insured.
To be connected with a Geriatric Care Manager, call the JFS Older Adult Access Line at (858) 637-3040 or send an email.
“With the ongoing support of JFS Care Managers, my uncle (age 92) has been able to remain living in his home. Not only did JFS staff help us find a reliable home health care agency, but they have been our eyes and ears ever since. We live 3,000 miles away and there is no way we could offer my uncle this quality of life without Jewish Family Service’s Geriatric Care Managers.” Phyllis D.

Are you a caregiver?
 Do you have responsibilities caring for an older adult family member or friend? Many adult children are part of the sandwich generation, caring for both the needs of their children and the needs of their aging parents. Geriatric Care Managers are available to meet with you to help explore the resources, options and possibilities available to you as a caregiver and your family.
