There are many factors that need to be considered when caring for someone in an assisted living facility. To ensure the proper care of their residents, a good assisted living facility uses the implementation of case management. Case management tracks different factors that can help determine the well-being of an individual. Below is a list of some of the things good case management will keep track of:
- Social Activity
- Illnesses
- Activities of Daily Living (ADLs)
- Pain
- General Mood
- Behavior
- Changes in weight
- Changes in medication
Though case management differs from each facility, ensure you understand how prospective centers handle their case management. A thorough case management protocol is a good indicator and can give you peace of mind that your loved will be taken care of properly.
