What Are Your Choices in Aging Life or GCM Client Software?

June 4, 2022

 

 

What are the Four Geriatric Care Management Databases?

 

There are only four significant aging life or GCM Software Choices ?  So the options for client software are slim. Jewel Code  and  My Junna  are two choices. Care Tree    I  Health Home  are two more options. Geriatric care managers and  ALCA managers who

have home care staffing themselves are fans of  Clear Care, which offers staffing if you also have private duty home care but is not really as user-friendly for care management needs with limited space to document & no care planning at all.

If you are a geriatric or aging life care manager or a private duty home care agency doing geriatric care management start up or still on paper- which GCM software choice should you use and why.

What Are Your Choices in Aging Life or GCM Client Software?

August 4, 2021

 

Are you a geriatric care manager still using paper?

All Geriatric care manager or ALCA members should have the best GCM Software

choices. But Some care managers still function on paper  instead of using GCM database .That is a bad business decision. You need to give clients gold standard service to retain them and arming your care managers with the most user-friendly fully loaded client database makes their concierge care so much easier to deliver. This gives your business a more profitable a bottom line in running a business. So spending money on a client database makes your more  money.

GCM TECHNOLOGY-RIGHT CHOICE FOR A CLIENT?

July 26, 2021

 

GCM  Job -Help Seniors use Technology

Your job as an aging life or geriatric care manager is to make sure that the technology device like an tablet or e reader device really works for the older client . Does it work at their level of care -or work well at all.

Why- because aging clients need technology to help with both the isolation and lonliness of aging, to increase their quality of life, connect with their family- But the device has to be easy to use for this non- native group

Features of Senior Tech That make it Easy to Use

So what do you do when you recommend a technology like a tablet or e book??  .You are not a tech geek- so how will you choose the right  tech product?

 Features to consider when recommending an e-book reader to a client include size of screen, ability to magnify font, type of display, including contrast, glare, and backlighting, ease of navigation, ease of downloading (e.g., wireless, wifi, or computer connection with decreasing preference), and battery life. E-book readers are now available from Amazon (the Kindle), Sony (Sony Reader Digital Book), Barnes and readers? and Apple (iPad)

But many seniors need hands on help is using these tech devices.

A recent survey from AARP, conducted last  September and October, highlights the quandary. It found that older adults boosted technology purchases during the pandemic but more than half (54%) said they needed a better grasp of the devices they’d acquired. Nearly 4 in 10 people (37%) admitted they weren’t confident about using these technologies.

A group in Philadelphia created Generations on Line to help seniors learn to use technology. During COVID this became to such more important to reduce the isolation and lonliness of seniors during shutdown. But they also developed a  program to help families teach an older adult how to use tech devices

To learn more about  GCM’s and technology, look at Dr. David Lindeman and Julie Menack’s  new aging technology chapter in  the 4th Handbook of Geriatric Care Management
