Care managers represent a fairly new development in the care of people with chronic, debilitating diseases such as Alzheimer's. As their name implies, care managers coordinate the services and resources that can make a difference in the overall care of a person with Alzheimer's. Professional care managers are highly qualified individuals from the fields of social work, nursing, gerontology and psychology. They act as advocates for the elderly and know what services are available in your region, how to access them, and how to negotiate the government-supported programs that can help pay for them. .
