Why Adding Care Planning & Care Management Private Duty Home Care Great Idea?

May 1, 2023

Adding Care Management to Home Care Gives Clients Path to Hope

By adding geriatric care management to a private duty home care agency, new clients will understand the solutions and path to hope you bring beyond home care. This offers buy-into your agency, customer satisfaction, and trust in your service, thus hope that the elder care problem can be solved.

 

In the care planning process, a geriatric care manager is vital to families, particularly in the early stages of caregiving. Most families do not understand the needs and problems of the older adult or the costs associated with these options.  They are under terrible stress because they feel out of control. The care manager will explain the problems, solutions, and cost at a one-to-one care planning meeting. This makes new families and clients feel in control and have hope, which is vital to keeping the case long-term. GCM becomes their trusted guide.

A geriatric care manager sorts all the problems in the case and comes up with important solutions in a care plan; they use that to explain what is needed for the client. She/He is very much like a detective- a professional Sherlock Holmes, solving the case for a very confused, desperate family.

Mature

Education training and experience.

Providing a care plan and opportunity for discussion and buy-in among family members can be important in educating, initiating, modifying, or continuing PDHC services. Instead of an agency, the client bonds with the care manager and builds a 1-1 relationship that is long-lasting and puts a face on an agency.
The key is a highly trained, experienced, certified geriatric care manager, not a staff member who is called a care manager but has no training. Since the care managers added to the homecare bill per hour, this multi-faceted professional will pay for her/his salary many times and allow you to bill for what you have been doing for free.
Creating a care plan is not just an art- it is a skill that takes education, training, and experience.
