Testimonials
From a geriatric care manager If my parents lived in [the Milwaukee] area, and were in need of a geriatric care manager (GCM), I would call Miriam. My clients are very important to me, [and I would want] to be sure the GCM was not only competent and experienced but a genuinely good-hearted person. Miriam is all that and more. She will be able to assess your family’s situation, make recommendations, and coordinate services. Geriatric care management covers an array of services, including facilitation of family meetings. GCMs are able to become as involved as their clients wish. Whether your family engages Miriam’s services on a temporary or an on-going basis, I am sure you will be pleased with her assistance. |
