Geriatric Support/Pathway Care was founded in 1988 as Geriatric Support Associates, one of the first geriatric care management agencies in the State of Wisconsin.

Geriatric Support/Pathway Care provides personalized consultation, assessment and care management services for older adults, adults with disabilities or chronic care needs, and their families.

Families come to us for many reasons. Some live at a distance and cannot be as involved with their loved ones as they would like. Others find that, as members of the “sandwich generation”, they are being pulled in multiple directions.

There are those situations in which family members want the best, but are not in agreement about how to handle changes as they occur, or how to plan for the uncertain future. At times, family members find that they agree that “something needs to change”, but don’t know what changes to make, or which resources will best meet their loved ones’ needs.

For over twenty years, the caring professionals at Geriatric Support/Pathway Care, have been assisting clients and families in the same way we would want our own families served: by offering a unique blend of compassion & sensitivity, knowledge & expertise, and professionalism & objectivity, that enables us to assist your family to arrive at the solution that is right for you.
