What is Geriatric Care Management?

As a result of today’s complex healthcare system a new senior service has emerged. Geriatric Care Management has grown immensely in resent years due to the fact that many seniors are finding themselves lost in a maze of health professionals, institutions and family stresses.

Geriatric Care Managers are professionals with their degree in Social Work or Gerontology. They have the knowledge and experience to assist seniors and their families with long term care arrangements, everyday issues, and advocacy.

In our commitment to provide the highest quality care and support to the senior community, we are proud to offer such services to our clients.

A team of skilled Geriatric Care Managers known as Bayshore Geriatric Solutions joined with Bayshore Home Health in October, 2005. Together, Bayshore Home Health and Bayshore Geriatric Solutions provide piece of mind to our clients and their families on a daily basis.

Our team of GCMs can perform in-home assessments for seniors to identify problems and recommend possible solutions. Based on this assessment, they can offer referrals to medical services, legal and financial services, home care, and many other community resources. Our GCMs have referred their clients to services such as: Meals on wheels, home care, emergency buttons, psych services, eldercare attorneys etc.

Our care managers often act as a connecting bridge between the senior, their family members and supporting services that are offered in the Bay Area. They can coordinate all the services and keep in touch with verbal and written reports so the family members are always informed about their senior loved one.

Bayshore’s GCMs recommend services that enable the senior to continue to reside safely at home for as long as possible. If and when a senior does have the need to move into a retirement community, assisted living facility or nursing home the GCM can assist with this process in order to make certain that this move is the most appropriate for the senior based on their unique needs. Once the senior has moved, the GCM can help them by visiting regularly and making sure their client’s best interest and safety is in mind. The main goal of Bayshore Geriatric Solutions is to assist seniors and their loved ones in making the best decisions for them and their well being based on each unique circumstance. If you feel you would benefit from the services of Bayshore Geriatric Solutions, call your Bayshore Home Health office today.

What others have to say!

With your help and assistance, I was able to keep my husband home with me for an extra year.
Joanne G.

Your nursing supervisor and caregivers were exceptional in all areas of service.

Geraldine W.

The Caregiver you sent us is a great communicator and provides a great loving environment for my Grandparents.

Stacy Myers

I really value the fact I do not have to worry about my mom while she is in your care. I also really value the socialization she is getting from your caregivers.

Dean W.

Thank you so much for the caregivers you have provided for us. As you know, my husband had a very difficult post- operation period. I think that he has turned a corner now and is improving daily. The care that your staff provided made a huge difference. I should call them “angels” instead of nurses!

Janice M.

Without Bayshore and the care and companionship they provided, I fear that my client would have been institutionalized. Your caregivers enabled my client to live in her home and enjoy a greatly enhanced quality of life as she was provided with the proper nutrition, stimulation, and encouragement.

Elder Law Atty., Pinellas County

Whether our residents need help with medications, bathing, companionship or just someone to lend a loving ear, the entire Bayshore team always responds promptly and has proved to us time and time again that they truly care.

Senior Living Community, Executive Director

I want to thank the staff of Bayshore for the fine service provided to my father over the past four years while he was in his home and then a resident in an assisted living facility. Everyone was very responsive to my requests and always maintained the attitude of the customer being first.

Thank you for helping our family and most of all thank you for allowing your caregivers to by our strength.

Judy

I want to thank you for making it possible for my mother to live at her home. Your caregiver made sure my mother took her medication, got nourishment, and made sure she was safe and comfortable.

John V.

There is just no way that I can express my appreciation for what you have done for my Aunt over the years. With me being out of state, I cannot tell you what a Godsend you all have been and how you have cared for her and gave me such peace of mind. You have been her friend and family for so many years.
