Care Management

Care management helps older adults and their families determine their needs and find the best available resources to meet those needs. A care manager ensures that the person with dementia is receiving the proper care by conducting a needs assessment of the person with dementia and arranging for the appropriate services. There are different types of care management and individuals may be eligible for services through Medi-Cal as well as private pay.
