While most Care Management clients are older adults, many also assist younger adults who face challenges of disability or serious illness. Care Managers may help people who have:
- Physical disabilities
- Developmental disabilities, (e.g. intellectual disabilities, Down’s syndrome, autism or Asperger’s syndrome)
- Brain injury
- Mental health problems
Care Managers can often help parents who are concerned about a young adult or middle-aged adult child with disabilities or chronic or serious illnesses of any type,. These Care Managers have experience and credentials to work with all ages. The Care Manager conducts a comprehensive assessment and helps the family plan for current and future needs of their adult child.
