Just when we thought we knew all the answers, we face old age and retirement and realize that there are just as many questions now, as there was when we were younger. That's precisely why the Colonial Club has invested in a Case Management Program.

The Case Managers are often the individuals with the answers. And if they are not the direct source of the answer, they know where to find it. Aging itself is hard enough at times, but navigating your way through the bureaucracy of local, state and federal programs can be a nightmare. Participants in the Case Management program will receive confidential, one-on-one assistance from a caring case manager. Whether you need to explore in-home assistance options, care-giving support or one of any number of situations, a Colonial Club case manager will provide compassionate support to anyone in need.

Summary

What is Medical Assistance Case Management?

The medical assistance case manager provides services to those older adults who are eligible or are currently on medical assistance.

The case manager's support services help to ensure that older adults meet eligibility requirements as well as serve as an advocate on their behalf when working with county and government agencies. The medical assistance case manager can represent clients in the review process if the client is home bound and can also help with the paper work involved in applying for medical assistance.
