Senior Care Coordination
About The Position
Our senior care coordinators are your advocates and can connect you to short- and long-term care resources for your unique needs. They provide personalized support and guidance to navigate through the healthcare system and assist with scheduling and coordinating transportation for appointments. In addition, they are skilled in evaluating everything from what home safety equipment might be helpful to addressing emotional concerns with you. A senior care coordinator specializes in working with seniors on care decisions — from whom to see for care to helping coordinate and manage care needs and services. They help clients create a plan for care now and later, and identify the places and professionals who can deliver that care. They also ensure necessary communication among family members and the care team to keep everyone updated and on the same page.
