What's a Geriatric Care Manager?
A geriatric care manager (GCM) is an individual whose job includes acting as an advocate for the elderly and also setting them up with the services they need—they can be a godsend for long-distance caregivers.

What They Offer
By evaluating an individual's level of functioning, along with their health, emotional, financial and legal needs, a GCM helps to identify problems and needs, and offer practical solutions. GCMs help ease the stress of searching for long-term care by intervening in crises, offering counseling and support, and advocating on your behalf. GCMs can be hired to help you in times of crisis, should you need respite or as the full-time point of contact for all senior care services.
