Geriatric Care Management for the Family You Love
Geriatric care management gives your family one accountable professional — a trained care manager — who assesses, plans, coordinates, monitors, and advocates for older adults, people with disabilities, and anyone whose needs have outgrown what one person can carry alone. Alenta coordinates care nationwide through phone, video, shared care planning, and collaboration with local providers; in-person availability varies by location and engagement.

What is geriatric care management?
Geriatric care management is a professional service in which a trained care manager assesses a client's whole situation, builds a written care plan, and then runs it. The care manager brings experience with dementia, chronic illness, disability support, home safety, and family dynamics, and stays involved for as long as the family needs.
A geriatric care manager becomes the one accountable person for a loved one's care: coordinating with medical providers, translating clinical decisions, helping hire and oversee home care, planning housing transitions, and keeping long-distance families in the loop. It is the service families turn to when a parent's, spouse's, or disabled family member's needs have outgrown what one person can carry alone — whether that person lives across town or across the country.

Signs a family may need a care manager.
Two or more of these usually means a consultation is worth your time.
- A loved one was just discharged from the hospital and no one explained what happens next
- You suspect early dementia and don't know who to call first
- Three or more providers are involved and nobody is talking to each other
- You live far away and can't drop everything for every appointment
- Siblings disagree about what should happen and need a neutral professional in the room
- You're the primary contact for a family member's care and it's affecting your job, marriage, or health
Private-pay and insurance expectations.
Private geriatric care management is a private-pay, fee-for-service engagement. Medicare does not cover it, and most private health insurance does not either; a small number of long-term care insurance policies reimburse a portion of care-coordination costs. We provide a clear written fee before any work begins, based on the scope of your care plan rather than geography, since most coordination happens remotely.
