LIFE Care Management
LIFE Care Management LIFE helps vulnerable elderly people remain in their homes. Care planning services begin with a comprehensive assessment of the elderly person's needs, abilities, circumstances, and support. From the assessment, a detailed plan for home care is developed. With the elderly person's permission and participation, the LIFE counselor arranges and coordinates the delivery of various in-home services. The elderly person's needs and care plan are reviewed regularly. Adjustments are made, as necessary, to maintain his or her safety and quality of life at home on a long-term basis.
