Meet the Experts (2 of 3): Geriatric Care 16Sep10 elder care panel discussion at The Forum at Lincoln Heights (San Antonio, TX, USA). Participants include moderator Ms. Helen Flores of Caring Companions; Ms. Kristi Allen of F@LH; Mr. Byron Cordes, MSW, BS, of SAGE Care Management; Dr. Mark Nelson, MD, US Army-trained Private Practice Rheumatologist; Sarah Dirks, DDS, UTHSCSA-trained Private Practice Dentist; and Ms. Candyce Slusher of Caring Companions. Of Note: Geriatric care management (also known as "elder care management", "senior health care management" and "professional care management") is the process of planning and coordinating care of the elderly and others with physical and/or mental impairments to meet their long term care needs, improve their quality of life, and maintain their independence for as long as possible. It entails working with persons of old age and their families in managing, rendering and referring various types of health and social care services. Geriatric care managers accomplish this by combining a working knowledge of health and psychology, human development, family dynamics, public and private resources and funding sources, while advocating for their clients throughout the continuum of care. For example, they may assist families of older adults and others with chronic needs such as those suffering from Alzheimer's disease or other dementia. {Source: WikiPedia} Quality geri-ed by docs (and other palliative pros) for patients (education known as Health Lit) proactive caregivers) recorded in front of live residence audience.
