What is a geriatric care manager?

A geriatric care manager is a licensed health or human services professional who specializes in helping older adults and their families navigate senior care decisions. At Answers for Elders, our Certified Geriatric Care Managers assess your loved one's needs, create a care plan, coordinate services, and advocate on their behalf.

What areas does Answers for Elders serve?

How do I get started with geriatric care management services?

Call us at 781-974-7474 for a free phone consultation. Our team will learn about your situation and explain how our geriatric care management and home health care services can help.

Does insurance cover geriatric care management?

Most geriatric care management services are private pay. However, some long-term care insurance policies do cover care management. We can help you navigate your coverage options. Call 781-974-7474 for more information.

What is the difference between a CNA and an HHA in home care?

A Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) provides hands-on personal care including bathing, dressing, grooming, mobility assistance, and vital sign monitoring under RN supervision. A Home Health Aide (HHA) assists with activities of daily living such as meal preparation, personal hygiene, light housekeeping, and medication reminders. Both are available through Answers for Elders in Plymouth, MA.

Can Answers for Elders help after my parent is discharged from the hospital?

Yes. Post-hospital transitional care is one of our most requested services. When a parent is discharged from Beth Israel Deaconess Plymouth, Jordan Hospital, Cape Cod Hospital, or any Massachusetts hospital, our team can provide immediate in-home support including discharge planning coordination, medication management, wound care supervision, caregiver placement, and follow-up assessments. Call (781) 974-7474 as early as possible before the discharge date.

What is elder care crisis intervention and when do I need it?

Elder care crisis intervention is immediate, professional support during an unexpected health emergency — a fall, a stroke, a sudden dementia episode, or a hospitalization. Answers for Elders provides 24/7 crisis response, including hospital-sitting, communicating with the medical team, coordinating discharge planning, and arranging a safe transition back home or to the appropriate care setting.
