The National Association of Professional Geriatric Care Managers, or NAPGCM, is a member organization of professional geriatric care managers. A geriatric care manager is a health and human services specialist who helps families who are caring for older relatives. They are dedicated to promoting the advancement of dignified care for older adults.

The Southeast Chapter (SEGCM) was founded in 1986 with the goal of helping aging adults and their families obtain the assistance they need to maintain safety, dignity, and quality of life. Seniors must deal with myths related to aging, and care managers are able to overcome these myths to focus on the problem at hand. Care managers have extensive knowledge regarding the costs, quality, and availability of services in their communities.

If you are unsure whether a geriatric care manager could help your family, ask yourself these questions.
• Are the problems that you or your loved ones are facing becoming larger or more complex than you can comfortably manage?
• Are your other responsibilities so great that you are not able to provide the highest level of care and attention for your aging loved ones?

Care managers are advocates working for the best care possible for your aging loved ones. You can find local care managers by using the search tool at the NAPGCM website or at the SEGCM website. More information about the services offered by our certified care managers is available at our website, Marca Life Planning.

Take the right steps today, and help your aging loved ones realize their best lives.
