When Caring for an Aging Loved One Becomes Complicated, You Don't Have to Navigate It Alone.
A change in health. A hospitalization. Concerns about safety at home. Increasing memory problems. A family disagreement about what happens next.
Sometimes caregiving reaches a point where finding a resource isn't enough.
Caregivers Outreach Private Geriatric care Management Services provide families with personalized professional guidance to assess needs, understand options, develop a plan, and coordinate care for an aging loved one.
Is Geriatric care Management Right for My Family?
Sometimes You Need More Than a Referral.
You may benefit from geriatric care management if you're asking questions like:
Is it still safe for my parent to live
alone?
What should we do after a hospitalization or rehabilitation stay?
What kind of care does my loved one actually need?
What senior living or long-term care options should we consider?
How do I find and coordinate home
care?
My siblings and I disagree about our parent's care. Where do we start?
I live far away and need someone to help coordinate care locally.
My loved one's needs keep changing, and I'm overwhelmed trying to manage everything.
If any of these situations sound familiar, a consultation can help determine your next step.
What Is Geriatric care Management?
A Professional Partner in Your Family's Caregiving Journey
Geriatric care management is an individualized service designed to help older adults and their families navigate the medical, social, practical, and emotional challenges that can accompany aging.
Rather than giving families a list of resources and leaving them to determine what happens next, care management looks at the broader situation, helps identify priorities, develops recommendations, and assists families with coordinating appropriate services.
Our role is not to take decision-making away from your family. It is to help you better understand your options so you can make informed decisions about the care of someone you love.
Our Services
Support Built Around Your Family's Needs
Every family's situation is different. Services are customized based on the needs of the older adult and the level of assistance the family requires.
Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment
We begin by understanding the whole picture.
An assessment may consider the older adult's current living situation, functional abilities, healthcare needs, available supports, safety concerns, social needs, caregiver circumstances, and other factors affecting their ability to remain safe and supported.
The assessment helps identify immediate concerns, unmet needs, available strengths, and potential next steps.
Individualized Care Planning
Following assessment, we help families develop a practical plan based on the older adult's needs, preferences, available supports, and family circumstances.
Recommendations may address home care, community services, healthcare coordination, safety, caregiver support, transportation, social engagement, future planning, or alternative living arrangements.
Healthcare & Care Coordination
Managing multiple providers and services can quickly become overwhelming.
Depending on the family's needs, care management can help organize information, coordinate services, communicate with appropriate providers with authorization, prepare families for appointments or care transitions, and help ensure important concerns are addressed.
Home Care Navigation
Families frequently reach out when an older adult begins needing additional help at home.
We can help families understand different types of home-based support, identify potential resources and providers, determine questions to ask when evaluating services, and incorporate home care into the broader care plan.
Hospital & Rehabilitation Transitions
The period following hospitalization or rehabilitation can be particularly challenging for families.
We help families prepare for transitions by identifying potential care needs, discussing available support options, coordinating community resources, and helping caregivers understand what may be needed when their loved one returns home or transitions to another care setting.
Senior Living & Long-Term Care Navigation
When remaining at home may no longer be the best option, families often face an unfamiliar system of senior living and long-term care.
We help families understand different levels of care and identify questions to consider when exploring options such as independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing care.
Family Caregiver Consultation
Sometimes the person who needs support most is the caregiver.
Private consultations provide family caregivers with an opportunity to discuss concerns, understand available options, prioritize next steps, and develop a more manageable approach to caregiving.
Ongoing care Management
Some families need assistance with one decision. Others benefit from continued support.
Ongoing care management may include regular reassessment, service coordination, family communication, resource navigation, monitoring changes in needs, and modification of the care plan as circumstances evolve.
How It Works
A Clear Path Forward

03

For Long-Distance Caregivers
Caring From Far Away Can Be Especially Difficult.
You may live hours away while your parent or loved one lives in the New York area.
You receive phone calls about appointments, falls, missed medications, changes in behavior, or problems at home—but you can't always be there to see what's happening yourself.
Private Geriatric care Management can provide families with local professional support to better understand needs, identify resources, coordinate appropriate services, and navigate changes in care.
For Families Facing a Care Transition
Something Changed. What Happens Next?
Caregiving needs can change suddenly.
A hospitalization, fall, new diagnosis, change in memory, loss of mobility, caregiver illness, or other event can leave families making major decisions quickly.
We help families slow down the decision-making process where possible, understand available options, identify priorities, and develop a plan for what comes next.
Free Resource Navigation vs. Private care Management
Which Service Do I Need?
Caregiver Resource Navigation
Resource navigation is appropriate when you primarily need help finding information, community resources, or organizations that provide a particular service.
Caregivers Outreach can help point families toward potential programs and resources through our community caregiver services.
Our Approach
Your Family. Your Decisions. Our Guidance.
We believe effective geriatric support begins by listening.
Our approach considers not only the needs of the older adult but also the realities facing the family members providing care.
Whenever possible, we seek solutions that respect the older adult's preferences, promote independence and dignity, support family caregivers, and make the best use of available community resources.
Our goal is to help families move from uncertainty to understanding—and from feeling overwhelmed to having a plan.

Important Information
Private Geriatric care Management is a fee-based professional service. Service recommendations and fees will be discussed before care management services begin.
Caregivers Outreach does not replace a physician, attorney, financial advisor, emergency service, or other licensed professional whose expertise may be required. When needs fall outside our scope, families may be referred to appropriate professionals or community resources.
If you are experiencing a medical or other immediate emergency, contact the appropriate emergency service rather than submitting an online consultation request.
