What Is Care Management?
Care management is a professional service that helps older adults and their loved ones organize care needs, communicate with providers, plan for changes, and make informed decisions. At Catalina, this service is nurse-led, which means you benefit from clinical insight in addition to strong advocacy, care planning, and ongoing coordination.
Our nurse care managers specialize in care coordination services, health-related planning, provider communication, and family support. Each visit is focused on improving outcomes while easing the day-to-day stress that often comes with complex aging needs.
Care management services may include:
- In-home care assessments to better understand health needs, routines, safety concerns, and support priorities
- Personalized care planning based on current needs, provider recommendations, and family concerns
- Medication review and organization, including pillbox setup, updated medication lists, and education on proper use
- Hospital discharge support to help implement instructions, monitor recovery, and reduce the risk of avoidable setbacks
- Appointment coordination and follow-up after medical, therapy, or specialist visits
- Communication with physicians, specialists, pharmacists, fiduciaries, caregivers, and residential providers
- Family updates and care conferences to address questions, concerns, or changes in care
- Ongoing care monitoring, including wellness visits, side effect tracking, and follow-up when prescriptions or care instructions change
- Support for long-distance family caregivers who need a trusted local advocate
- Transition support when introducing hospice, home care, or senior living changes
Care is personalized for each situation and designed to bring both immediate support and long-term continuity.
