are accessed through the Area
Agencies on Aging (AAA). In addition, NJEASE provides

Private Geriatric Care Managers
A geriatric care manager helps coordinate and manage the care
of an elder. This includes assessments to identify problems. The
manager will then establish eligibility for needed services, coordinate
medical needs -- physician contacts, home health, other necessary
screening and monitoring of in-home help -- review financial or
legal issues to provide appropriate referrals, community resources,
crisis intervention, assistance with relocation, etc. Contact your
local
AAA for information
