In a report released by the National Alliance for Caregiving and AARP in 2004, one of the key findings was that nearly 60% of those caring for an adult over the age of 50 are working; the majority of those work full-time. This leaves very little time for caregivers to devote to the one they are trying to care of. Hiring a professional geriatric care manager can help you develop a realistic and workable action plan. There are many agencies, facilities and companies out there that are marketing services and products to the senior population. It can be confusing and hard to pick which services and products are right for you. Experienced geriatric care managers know what to look for based on your needs, what questions to ask and where to go. Consider hiring a GCM to help manage things. Members of the National Association of Professional Geriatric Care Managers follow a code of ethics and standards of practice.
