Health Home Care Management
A Health Home Care Manager assists in creating a person-centered care plan. Care Managers assist in care coordination of medical, mental health, substance abuse, and social service needs. Care Managers collaborate with primary care physicians and service providers for follow up and communication. Care Managers also ensure all parties involved are working together and sharing pertinent information to reach the desired outcome, based on goals and objectives identified in the Care Plan. Care Managers assist with housing needs, social, community activities, and legal assistance. If hospitalized, Care Managers participate in discharge planning for a seamless transition from hospital stay to the next level of care.
