Once Family Care is fully implemented, wait lists are eliminated so that people who are eligible will not have to wait for necessary services. People who are currently receiving services through Fond du Lac’s Creative Care Options may see additional choices of providers for their services.

Every Family Care member will help create their own individual service plan as part of an Interdisciplinary Care Management Team (IDT) that includes at least three people: the member, a case manager and a nurse. Having a nurse on the team is something that many consumers may not be used to, but the addition of a medical professional helps us coordinate health care with long-term care services to better ensure the overall well-being of member
