Best of Care’s Geriatric Care Management Services —Trustworthy. Compassionate. Reliable.

Best of Care’s Geriatric Care Management (GCM) services support Massachusetts elders’ well-being wherever they choose to age in place while providing peace of mind for their families. A geriatric care manager (GCM) is a certified professional who has expertise in the field of gerontology, sociology, or nursing and can assist elders and their families in supporting the elder’s life care goals.

We identify each family’s unique needs, develop a comprehensive care plan, and coordinate resources. The goal is to enhance the quality of life for both the senior and her or his family. Geriatric care managers can be especially helpful and supportive when family members reside far away and it becomes difficult to check in with their loved one from a distance.

Here’s how we can help.

• Act as a support system for both client and family
• Address emotional concerns
• Advocate for the client and his or her family
• Apply for senior entitlements (if eligible)
• Arrange and oversee support services and outside agencies

• Discuss difficult topics and complex issues
