Assessment & Private Care Management
Private care managers are health care professionals with a background in nursing, social work, gerontology, family counseling, & etc., who specialize in elder care issues and are trained to help family caregivers by:
* assessing the particular needs of a family; the level of care needed and the living situation;
* helping them navigate the medical system; and planning and supervising care, among other services.
MTMS provides an assessment of the individual’s needs and re-evaluates the client’s needs frequently.
Families living out of town or out of state can rely on our staff to monitor the client and the services on a regular basis. The care manager follows up with the individual to be sure the person’s needs continue to be met. If the situation changes, a reassessment will be made and new services arranged if necessary.
