Aging care management is at the heart of Lifespan’s services. Our professional care managers are nurses or social workers with specialized training and experience in aging issues. They provide baseline assessments, identify the strengths and needs of clients, and recommend care options and community resources to support individuals wishing to remain safely at home. Ongoing visits serve to monitor for safety and changes in condition. Families living out of town and those with significant time constraints find local care management and consultation invaluable.
