What You'll Learn

In GER524 Case Management in Eldercare, students will study the community case management model in the context of home and community-based settings. Care/case management in community-based settings is provided by allied health professionals such as nurses, social workers, case managers, occupational therapists and physiotherapists in developing and developed countries. Concepts and skills related to case management with older adults and their families will be taught in class. With more services being shifted to the community or primary care setting (versus institutional setting) training in assessment, intervention and co-ordination is relevant. Implications for greater burden of care on family members and community-based agencies, as well as need for greater resources is examined. Students will discuss caregiver burnout, tension between family members and employed caregivers, language issues, and solutions to promote the well-being of care recipients. The course has a practical focus and students are encouraged to discuss ways to address these challenges/issues in multidisciplinary teams.
