How does a New Insight Eldercare Consultation differ from an assessment performed by a Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) case manager?
The mandate of a CCAC case manager is tocoordinate and arrange CCAC commissioned servicesas well as facilitate placement in accredited nursing homes. A comprehensive eldercare consultation compliments this by exploring issues beyond the sometimes narrow CCAC mandate, seeing the CCAC as one of the several potential partners in looking after an older person. Examples of further considerations include referrals to specialized community medical or mental health services, retirement home placement, privately paid home services and day programs. An eldercare consultation can also address future planning.
