Case Management
Click Tree of Life below to hear Holly speak on case management/private practice
Case Management is needed when the Elder has family living at a distance, no family involvement, or a family busy with their young children and unable to meet the needs of an aged parent. I am a daughter for hire. I provide the services to my clients that a child would do for their mom or dad. I am retained by the children, or the client's accountant, Attorney or Power of Attorney. I see the client in their home for a visit once a week.
I have been in the field of Geriatric Case Management for 33 years. I have a Master's of Science in Social Work, MSSW from the University of Louisville, Kent School for Social Work. I also have a Master's degree in Psychology from the New School for Social Research in New York City. I worked for the Stanley Isaac Neighborhood Center as a Geriatric Social Worker. I also worked as the Admissions Director for Parkshore Manor Nursing Home. I have been in private practice for over 25 years.

My services are very important to elders who have no families or who have families that live at a distance. Many times the client has an attorney handling the finances, but no one handling the social service and day by day needs. Some of the tasks I provide include hiring and management of home health care workers, assisting the client in bill paying, arranging and accompanying the client to doctor appointments, distributing weekly food and expense money to the household (usually provided to me at the beginning of the month by the attorney or family member managing the assets of the client).
I am usually hired by the family or legal representative. If the elderly client hires me on her/his own, I usually will request to meet and include the children, nieces, nephews, siblings or legal representative in the plan of care. I often play the role of a son or daughter in the lives of the clients I care for. When a child is unavailable, for a set fee, I will fill in and perform the services that a child would otherwise provide. For further information of Care Management, please submit contact page. |
