A week in the life of a Geriatric Care Manager in Bergen County, NJ

With the start of summer, it has been great to know that many of my clients are able to to enjoy the warm weather. Walking with their caregivers or just sitting outside for a little while does wonders!

Mr. and Mrs. J enjoyed showing me all the beautiful flowers in their backyard. Even with advanced dementia, Mrs. J was engaged in tending to her garden during my visit.

Mrs. B felt stronger in the sunshine and has been walking outside with her aide to get the mail each day; something she wouldn’t attempt on cooler days.

Mrs. C is progressing beautifully after a fall. While almost ready to be discharged from a rehabilitation facility in Paramus, NJ, she fully participates in physical and occupational therapy and looks forward to the next step in her independence.

With her family living on the west coast, our team of geriatric care managers has been completely involved in the supervision and planning of her discharge.

Ms. A, adorned with a big straw hat and long sleeved blouse, happily exercises outdoors which at the age of 95 includes walking up hill and lifting weights!

Mrs. S is also ready to leave a rehabilitation facility in Rochelle Park, NJ to move into a beautiful apartment in an assisted living facility in Hawthorne,NJ.

It has been a rewarding week for many of my clients. As a Geriatric Care Manager, whether celebrating flowers in bloom or a move to a new phase of a senior’s life is both a privilege and an honor.

Happy Summer
