Aging life care managers act as guides and advocates for older people and their families. Also known as senior care managers or geriatric care managers, these experts help older adults live at home rather than in a facility. They can provide any of the following services, although this is not an exhaustive list:

• Assessment and monitoring
• Planning and problem-solving
• Match needs and services
• Assist families with care coordination
• Crisis intervention and updating levels of care as needs change

These professionals typically have a background in social work, psychology, nursing, or gerontology. They also have specific expertise in assessing, planning, and serving the needs of older adults.
