In today’s world, caregiving can
be very challenging for the following reasons:
- People are living longer, often with chronic disabilities or
functional limitations
- People wish to maintain as much independence, dignity and control,
as possible
- Family members may not always be available to provide the care
because of distance, work commitments and other family responsibilities
- Family relationships are not always conducive to caregiving
because of unresolved issues or different opinions about the
best ways to meet the needs
- Families often have multiple caregiving responsibilities at
the same time – i.e. for self, elders, children and grandchildren
- Coping with health changes, losses, disabilities, and functional
limitations can be emotionally draining and very time consuming
- The health and social service delivery systems are fragmented,
confusing and difficult to access
- It is especially difficult to assure that all of the different
parts of the medical system are working in coordination with
one another
- The family may not be prepared emotionally, or because of distance
to care for the elder
For all these reasons the Care Manager
can be the one individual who guides and coordinates all the care
components and helps the family stay involved, at whatever level
is appropriate for each family.
The various care components include:
- In-home care
- Safety issues
- Coordination and advocacy for medical services
- Medication management
- Therapies
- Physician appointments
- Social and emotional support needs
- Home modification
- Bill paying
- Access to community services
Care is individualized based on the unique circumstances of each family situation.
