Handbook of Geriatric Care Management

This 24-chapter handbook addresses various aspects of geriatric care management. Practicing care managers and academics from the US cover the history of care management; ethics; geriatric assessment, planning, and care monitoring, including ethnic and cultural considerations, the role of the care manager in the relocation of an elderly person, spirituality, assessing and supporting a family caregiver, supporting quality of life, and the use of technology; business aspects, including marketing, private revenue sources, and preparing for emergencies; and clinical issues like family conflict and mediation. Updated and revised, this edition adds two new chapters on working with older veterans and helping clients with depression. It has updated ethics and standards, a focus on credentialing and certification, case studies, sample forms and letters, and tips for building a care manager business.
