What is Life Care Management?

Life care management goes beyond traditional geriatric care management to put a knowledgeable aging expert “in your corner” providing you with advice and guidance. Your life care manager is your partner, helping you navigate difficult decisions and ready to speak up on your behalf when your voice isn’t being heard.

While life care managers help their clients in almost every way imaginable, their assistance generally falls into one of four categories:

Navigate

Coordinate

Advocate

Communicate
