The 10 Best Geriatric Care Managers for Seniors in Alameda County, CA for 2025

"Maxwell's oversees medical management, arranges home care services, and interfaces as needed with social welfare public agencies. They provides senior care clients with close attention to evolving needs and find creative alternatives when care choices become ineffective. Patricia, as principal at Maxwell's, is conversant with the inevitable arc of dementia and suggests new solutions that help keep older family members in their home as long as possible. I found her especially helpful during emergencies when quick responses were necessary, and in ascertaining the need to change facilities when a loved one was not thriving. Patricia is assertive to a fault in advocating for the patient, and has assembled a crack team in Apryl, Shawna, Barbara and Bob who fulfill distinct roles and balance out the team. I can highly recommend Maxwell's."

"LivHOME is excellent. Our family has benefited for a long time from the caring professional care of this organization. A shout out goes to David G. who is one of the best professionals in the field. Our family used him with a family member at her personal home. He advocated for her in numerous, detailed, observant ways. Then, at 92 years of age, we had to move her to assisted living. We were so pleased with the care of LivHOME that we asked David to continue to see her. The professionalism continued. Outstanding. We can't recommend LivHOME enough. LivHOME is the real deal. Professionals who really care. I wouldn't consider anyone else."

"Our caregivers were professional and anticipated our mother's needs. Her care manager made regular visits and kept us informed of mom's condition. Overall a good experience. Thank you Livhome. "

"I had the pleasure of working with Ms. Johnson with three different clients. She is compassionate, creative and thoughtful. She works very well with family members in assessing the most pertinent needs of their parents and in addressing these individual needs. She is very knowledgeable in the field of geriatrics and in mental health with the elderly. I highly recommend Debra Johnson and Late Life Journey."

"Excellent dementia care services. Wonderful, knowledgeable, and very experienced Care Managers. The care managers pick up the phone every time, day or night. They are always there for us and we are so grateful for their care and attention to detail. A little expensive when you first start but it has been worth every penny. Good luck 🍀 "

According the The New York Times article “ Why Hire a Geriatric Care Manger”, “A professional geriatric care manager has been educated in various fields of human services — social work, psychology, nursing, gerontology — and trained to assess, plan, coordinate, monitor and provide services for the elderly and their families. Advocacy for older adults is a primary function of the care manager.” Not every family has the time or energy to plan, coordinate, and implement all the moving parts of caring for an aging loved one. Hiring a Geriatric Care Manager (GCM) allows you to go back to being a daughter or son, and enjoying all that comes with that. A Geriatric Care Manager takes the role of nurse, social worker, and general life manager off the plate of the loved one who has taken on this large task.
