Case Management

Having trouble navigating the healthcare system, getting confusing and contradictory advice or just feeling worried that the house isn’t as clean as it used to be?

Case management is a service that assists older people living at home to ensure care and support is provided when and where it is needed most. A case manager’s job is to create a care plan that takes into account an individual’s medical needs along with the broader context of their life so that the best possible services and care can be put into place.

Case managers understand that care is not one size fits all and they take the time to find out what really matters.

An initial assessment will take place which will consider healthcare needs, social needs, support needs and general wellbeing needs. These will then be monitored so that if anything changes the care plan is updated accordingly.

Some examples of what might be included in a care plan:

Advocacy and help to navigate healthcare systems and access aged care services
Practical support for housework and gardening
Assistance with hobbies so that even as abilities change passions don’t need to
Help to understand healthcare information and diagnoses
Support with meals and good nutrition
Communication with healthcare providers to ensure all needs are being met
