Case Management Services

Case Management Services 2018

Our case managers are trained and caring professionals who are knowledgeable about issues related to aging and about community resources available for older adults. Case Management is a collaborative process of assessment, planning, coordination, evaluation, and advocacy for options and services to meet an individual’s needs. Some individuals are looking for short-term information, while others benefit from on-going case manage - ment.

In 2018, the Case Managers had 3784 direct and indirect contacts assisting older adults with services and resources. They spent 1500 hours providing Case Management services.

Frequent information requested and provided by the Case Managers in 2018 was on Alzheimer’s and Dementia resources, energy assistance, grocery delivery, housing options, home care agencies, meals on wheels, lifeline, prescription drug coverage, senior center lunches/programs, and transportation resources.

The case managers are responsible for the approval of home delivered meals. They conduct home visits to assess if the client is eligible to receive the home delivered meals and complete the required paperwork. In 2018 17,127 meals on wheels were delivered to seniors in our area.

The Case Managers provided one-on-one Medicare Part D counseling to 188 individuals during Medicare Part D open enrollment, October 15 – December 7, 2018. The Case Managers assisted 44 people with enrolling in a new Medicare Part D plans. This service, saved individuals a total amount of $36,043.67!

In addition to these services, our case managers have taken lead roles with the dementia friendly committee, the caregiver support group and the Parkinson’s support group. They continue their education on resources for older adults through trainings provided by the Area Agency on Aging.

They have also been vital in promoting the activities, lunch, and transportation the Senior Center offers. They look forward to continuing to help older adults in our community in 2019!

Case Management Services Case Management assistance is available to individuals 60 and older. We provide information, resources, and support for older adults and their families. Some individuals are looking for short-term information, while others benefit from ongoing case management support.

If you have a question, or would like to set up an appointment, please call the Senior Center and ask to speak to the Case Manager for your area; Melissa (Town of Westport, Town and Village of Dane, Town of Springfield, Town of Vienna) or Candice (Village of Waunakee).
