What is Geriatric Care Management?
A Geriatric Care Manager is a specialized professional trained to help seniors manage changes to their daily life in a variety of ways.
A Professional Geriatric Care Manager (PGCM) will evaluate your individual needs, identify solutions and work with you to design a plan for maximizing your (or your elder’s) independence and well being, thereby helping to maintain quality of life.
Residents of Philadelphia, Delaware, Bucks, Montgomery and Chester counties will find improved health, improved independence, better participation in the community, and more safety and security when they invite a PGCM to provide service.

Is GCM a long-term or short-term solution?
Geriatric Care Management is both! If you have an immediate need, a Professional Geriatric Care Manager can help you find the resources to manage a single problem or life events.
A PGCM can also be a trusted part of your caregiving team for the long term. Our GCM program allows you to have an ongoing relationship with your personal PGCM creating an added level of value that can only come by getting to know your needs over time.
Our Professional Geriatric Care Managers offer a caring yet efficient and flexible approach to consumer care. Through this approach, cost containment is achieved by avoiding duplication of services, inappropriate placements and providing crisis prevention and intervention. GCM frequently pays for itself many times over, and your added comfort and security is priceless.
