 Implementation
If you are considering a Care Manager you are most likely stressed from caregiver responsibilities or feel limited in the options presented to you at hospitals or care facilities. You have choices.
The demands of everyday life become overwhelming when a senior family member becomes ill, confused or in need of services.
The goal in the implementation of the care plan is to maximize client independence and choice while using the least intensive and least intrusive but most cost effective interventions.
Information and education are important components of the care plan process. At Spectrum Geriatric Care Management you find relief from the stress involved in care giving. Once the plan is developed, the care manager will provide you with specific instructions about how to maximize and access needed health and social services.
Care plan implementation involves many care management activities through which the care plan is put into effect. These activities may include providing information about available services, as well as educating clients and family members about how to access services or perform specific care activities themselves. It may also entail active involvement of a person or persons, such as clients, family members, or case managers, in arranging for or maintaining specific services.
By monitoring the care plan continuously, we help the family stay involved at whatever level is appropriate for each family. Our client is not only the older or disabled person but all of the formal and informal supports available to the individual. We then review the status of clients, their needs, and the services currently in place to address those needs. When we do this, we can measure and evaluate progress toward goals identified in the plan of care, assess whether provider services are being implemented in accordance with the care plan, and determine whether problems in the service delivery may require changes to the care plan.
