Question
How do you go about finding a Geriatric Care Manager? Will that person do a home visit and an evaluation on your parents and make recommendations? I'm living at a distance from parents right now, so I am looking for someone to make some suggestions on their current daily living situation (they still live independently, but probably shouldn't be).

The best way is to go to www.caremanager.org and use their "find a care manager" tool to obtain a list of the geriatric care managers near you. The caremanager.org website is provided by the national association of geriatric care managers and is the authoritative source for care management issues. Once you have a list from that website, call and do a phone interview with at least three of them to select one or more to meet with in person. Most care managers will conduct a free "information meeting" at their office or your parent's home in order to meet them and interview them. - Tim
