Geriatric Care Management
Geriatric Care Management (GCM), Elder Care Management (ECM) and Patient Advocacy in the Chicago Area
Geriatric Care Management Services
Geriatric Care Management (GCM), also known as Elder Care Management (ECM), involves the detailed planning, advisement and management of a total care solution.
Our Geriatric Care Managers can come from a variety of backgrounds but most often have experience in Social Work or Nursing. Social work can be beneficial because it can often be emotionally and mentally frustrating for clients and families in need of Geriatric Care. Nursing can be very relevant because of the clinical needs, particularly when it comes to Patient Advocacy.
Patient Advocacy Services
Patient Advocacy provides support in overall health advice but also in critical health situations where the hospital and rehabilitation system may be overwhelmed and potentially prone to error.
Broad Street Home Care is often recommended by a variety of Geriatric Care Managers, Elder Care Managers and Patient Advocates outside of our organization. Because of our Home Nursing capabilities, combined with our direct Home Care Services, we work in close collaboration with these professionals to provide a seamless service, and are able to deliver expert care management and patient advocacy in addition to our wider range of home care services.

Our Geriatric Care Managers and Patient Advocates
The services provided by our Geriatric Care Managers and Patient Advocates are often advisory in nature, helping clients navigate the complexities that surround aging whereas Home Care provides the direct service in the home.
Broad street nurse supervisors provide a bridge to our advisory Geriatric Care Management and patient advocacy services to enable a comprehensive direct home care service. Not only can they help manage and be a resource to the care professional, but they can step in when needed by attending doctor visits, providing medication management and helping with overall clinical guidance. In effect, our nurse supervision is an extension of geriatric care management, elder care management and patient advocacy.
