What Does a Care Manager Do Before End of Life Diagnosis?

November 29, 2022

End of Life has 5 Phases   

   

 

Before the end-of-life diagnosis, the ALCA or GCM care manager helps clients be active participants in their care and gives the family caregiver the tools to manage the care.            

The geriatric care manager serves older adults before they find they are dying. GCMs work with chronic care clients, sometimes for years, who eventually succumb to their illness. But they also work with clients who come to them facing the end of life issues.

 The process of acceptance and adjustment to terminal illness has five phases:

 

before the diagnosis,             

 

  • the acute phase ­

 

  • the chronic phase

 

  • the recovery phase

 

  • the terminal phase 
  • Geriatric Care Managers’ Tasks Before the diagnosis

  • Schedule medical  appts
  • Help family ask questions  of medical professionals
  • Before visiting  the client maintain an updated medication list and a list of any drug allergies
  • Assist the family in organizing all  Advanced care planning documents documents

  • Go to medical appointments with the client or train family members make a list of questions and have ready
  • Set up personal health records.       
  • Assist family members in setting up and use of a calendar to keep a log of important medication information, questions, and things out of the ordinary that happens to the ill person
