Case Management

Case Managers are often called the “gatekeepers” here at Alzheimer's Community Care. Although this term is accurate, to a family in need the Case Manager is much more, he or she is their advocate and support. Case Managers work with families with financial need to determine their eligibility for funding.

Whether this funding is provided by the state, local government entities, or through private funds secured by Alzheimer's Community Care, these funds are critical to protect the well being of the patients and caregivers.

The Case Managers work closely with the family, determine their individual needs, and bring them together with other agencies that provide additional services and resources. The Case Manager also provides much needed guidance in helping families and caregivers successfully apply for financial assistance through government entities.

In instances where the family may have significant financial resources, the Case Managers in conjunction with the Family Nurse Consultants, recommend outside agencies that have been pre-screened by the Family Nurse Consultants to ensure the highest level of care.

In summary, Case Managers bring together the people in need, with services and resources available, and connect them with the financial assistance to pay for these special needs.  Alzheimer's Community Care now has approved Case Management Services for the Aged and Disabled Adult Medicaid Waiver Program for Palm Beach, Martin and St. Lucie Counties.
