What is care management?

Care management defines the services you or a loved one needs to care for a chronic or complex health condition. The care managers at Elevation Homecare help you and your family understand the current and future impact of your health challenges. They may:

• Identify existing and anticipated gaps in essential care
• Identify ways to fill or prevent the gaps
• Learn about your goals, wishes, and desires
• Create a care plan that aligns with your goals and health care needs

Your comprehensive care management plan outlines what needs to be done in your daily life now and in the days ahead to support your physical, emotional, behavioral, and social well-being.

How do I get care management?

Elevation Homecare performs an in-home assessment, the first step toward getting the care management you need. During your assessment, they explore a range of topics that can be embarrassing for you or your loved one.

However, their sensitive approach and ability to put people at ease makes it easier for you to talk about the concerns that define the services essential for your care. They may discuss:

• Daily activities (bathing, dressing, toileting, cooking, etc.)
• Memory care
• Fall prevention
• Homemaking challenges
• Emotional and social well-being
• Access to community supports
• Transportation issues
• Medical needs

They also determine if there are any safety issues in the home, such as carpets that may cause a fall, stairs that may be dangerous, and whether you need assistive devices in the bathroom.
