"When you don't know where to turn..."
Geriatric Care Management
Love sometimes just doesn't reach far enough when you are dealing with the overwhelming problems of confused, frail or disabled older loved ones.
Â
Of course, you try your best to help but . . .
Â
-
Do you find you just don't have the time required to deal with all the day-to-day problems?
 -
Do you find the variety of insurance plans confusing?
 -
Are you aware of all the community resource options available to you?
 -
Do you live near enough to be readily available?
 -
Do you find that you lack the skills, knowledge, direction and/or the emoÂtional distance to problem solve for your loved one?
We can help!
Who We Are

Every family's situation is different. Caring Connections provides assessment, counseling, care coordination, discharge planning, referrals, regular visitation, insurance and benefits consultation, and other services designed to help older adults live with greater security, dignity, and quality of life.
Â
How Does Caring Connections Work?
When you call, Caring Connections will immediately set up a meeting with the older adult and/or their support network to discuss their needs. Caring Connections will formulate a plan of action, in cooperation with you.
Â
Caring Connections will evaluate the resources needed, estimate the costs involved, and determine what insurance or other benefits may be applicable.
Â
Once a plan has been chosen, Caring Connections will coordinate the necessary services and monitor their implementation.
Â
Continual communication is a key component to good care and is always a part of our services.
"From extensive personal experience, I can vouch for the value of the knowledgeable and conscientious services of Caring Connections in dealing with problems frequently faced by senior citizens. These services are particularly helpful in situations where family members are not nearby or are otherwise limited in being able to render assistance."Â
-H.B., client and practicing attorney
"I was introduced to Caring Connections by my former employer who had previous experience with the agency. Now that I've relocated to a nursing home, I realize, I couldn't have done it without them. Just hearing my social worker's voice cheers me up."Â
-M.N., nursing home resident
You Are Not Alone
We at Caring Connections can help you as we have helped others
"I do not live in the Cleveland area, so I asked Caring Connections to "check on" my mother once a week. I felt this was a way for me to keep up with Mom's care and condition, address any problems within a reasonable period and let staff know there was someone locally they could work with should the need arise. Caring Connections has been a wonderful resource. Mom has a real connection with Rita who has managed to bring out her sense of humor. I don't think that Mom's nursing home stay would be as free of problems without Rita's watchful eye and compassion."Â
-A.E., client's daughter
