Case Management

 


Case Managers assure full coordination and linkage of services provided by your choice of over seventy (70) available agencies approved by the State of Florida and local Area Agency on Aging. Case Managers will assist with applications for food stamps and other needed services available in the community. 

Case Managers involve, with client’s consent, family and caregivers in the client’s plan of care. Case Managers assist families and caregivers to resolve the emotional, financial and physical demands of caring for their elder loved ones.
