(HealthNewsDigest.com)-With the leading edge of the 72 million baby boomers now in their 60s, there’s growing interest in a new career option: geriatric care managers.
These health and human services professionals come from a variety of backgrounds, including nursing, gerontology, social work and psychology. They assist older adults, persons with disabilities and their families by serving as advocates and a resource for help for those with chronic needs, including helping those who suffer from Alzheimer’s disease or Parkinson’s or exhibit symptoms of dementia.
Geriatric care managers who are members of the National Association of Professional Geriatric Care Managers follow the association’s Pledge of Ethics and Standards of Practice.
