Care Management and Social Work Services

Concerned about the challenges of aging but not sure where to start or what to ask?

Trying to decide what changes or help is needed to maximize your quality of life?

Need to make decisions but having difficulty navigating options are available and affordable?

Worried about your parents’ ability to manage in their home or current living situation?

Need information, guidance and support in how best to care and help your aging parent?

We provide social work services to older adults and their families with a focus on quality aging to maintain their highest level of independence and dignity while remaining safe. Our social worker provides social services on an affordable sliding scale to meet the needs of older adults in our community. These services include:

• Home visits to assess needs and develop a plan to meet identified needs.

• Exploring options for older adults and their families.

• Consultations with older adults, as well as adult children to provide support, education, guidance, and available resources.

• Linking older adults to resources.

• The Senior Connections Community Series providing education and information about issues relevant to the older adults and their adult. Learn more here.

We are proud to offer case management services to older adults in both Wake County and in New Bern, NC.

• Case Management services are currently offered by phone and/or Telehealth. To schedule an appointment with our case manager, call our office at 919-676-2295.

The Older Adult Case Management programs are funded (in part) with a grant from Carolina Foundation for Jewish Seniors along with its commitment to enriching the lives of Jewish adults in North and South Carolina.
