Care Management

daughter with senior motherOur expert older adult Care Managers coach, guide, and advocate on your behalf. Our relationship begins with a thoughtful discussion to identify your needs, goals and available resources. Together we develop and implement a personalized plan with regard to aging, living independently, financial concerns, your health and overall well-being. Our goal is to support your ability to live with quality of life. Just starting the process and exploring your options with a Care Manager can ease your mind.

Care Management services include:

Resource Referrals

Having a tough time locating or navigating support services for older adults? We know the issues and questions associated with aging are sometimes overwhelming. JFS Care Managers link you to resources at JFS and throughout the Kansas City community to care for your mind, body and spirit. From home care to VA Benefits; transportation assistance to pension for Holocaust Survivors, we will help you access the services you need to enhance your health and well-being.

JFS offers some of the most comprehensive older adult programs in Kansas City. Our continuum of care spans from wellness and volunteer activities for active seniors to transportation and in-home counseling for the homebound. If you need help absorbing the news of a life-threatening or chronic health condition, or the stages of aging for that matter, we offer counseling and a compassionate hand. We often work with the senior, as well as adult children and other family members.

Home Safety Assessments & Fall Prevention

Severe falls are the leading cause of injury-related death for those 65+. We can help prevent falls by recommending modifications for your home and coordinating with your healthcare team. If you need assistance with modifications, JFS has qualified handymen to help through our Help@Home program.

Healthcare Advocacy

The healthcare system is complex and often overwhelming; even more so for an older adult or someone recently diagnosed with a serious condition or disease. JFS Care Managers can help you understand and access healthcare benefits. We help you define what’s most important to you.

We serve as your advocate and help you or your family navigate the complex healthcare system, teaching you to become self-advocates in the process.

Planning for the Future

We help you plan for the future to ensure you access the care you want, and your healthcare and legal wishes are honored along the way. Our hope is for you to make important decisions with loved ones ahead of time, before family members find themselves in a crisis or healthcare emergency. Our professionals are trained and experienced in talking about difficult life matters in a caring and compassionate way.

Are you the adult child of an aging parent? We are here to support you too.

For more information about the services offered, fees and fee waivers for those unable to pay, call 913-327-8250 to speak with a Care Manager.
