The Professional Geriatric Care Manager’s Blog

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

Last week I reached out to Ms. S.’s Geriatrician. He gladly agreed to visit Ms. S. in the facility she resides in. Now that Ms. S. is wheelchair bound, her Geriatrician agreed that it would be in her best interest for him to visit her at her facility. As her Geriatric Care manager and Registered Nurse, I was present during his visit. I provided him with her most recent medication list and her chart for him to review. I introduced him to the director of nursing, her nurse, and her caregiver. The occupational therapist was not available, but we were quickly updated on Ms. S’s progress. The professional team at the facility who work with Ms. S. were very happy to meet her longstanding Geriatrician and witness the care and concern that unique to their relationship.
