Care Planning & Management

Whether you live nearby or at a distance, caring for someone can be difficult, stressful and time consuming. A Care Manager can offer expertise, advice and linkages to services to enable an older or disabled person age with dignity and give you peace of mind.

At Minuteman Senior Services we have been helping caregivers for over twenty years to clarify their options, secure services or find an appropriate living situation. Care Management through Minuteman Senior Services is available free of charge for elders who qualify for any of our subsidized home care programs. Click here for a description of Home Care programs.
