FFC Cares Care Management ™
What is Care Management? Care Management services involve customized coordination and assistance with decision making in a variety of areas ranging from housing and moving, to medical care and other support services. This is coordinated through a Care Manager who works with you to identify your care goals, then works to coordinate the services that allow you to meet those goals. The guidance and support of a Care Manager allows the client to optimize their quality of life and care, while reducing stress and anxiety for family caregivers.
Why First Fiduciary Corporation as Care Manager?
First Fiduciary Corporation was the first professional fiduciary in Minnesota, founded in 1969. We have nearly 50 years of experience and have built a reputation as a trusted leader in the field of fiduciary management. We have handled many complex cases and varied family situations. Our employees are held to the highest ethical and professional standards, and are amongst the most highly trained and experienced professionals working today with elderly clients. We have become a leader in all facets of care management and have forged long-term relationships within the social services community.
An experienced Care Manager will be assigned to work with you and your family to meet your care goals. Clients are encouraged to participate in the development of care plans and services can be customized to meet individual needs over time. We work with a person-centered approach and take a holistic view of all client’s needs and wishes. An initial assessment is completed to ensure that we have clearly outlined the client’s goals.
Care Management services can include, but are not limited to:
