 Case managers and social workers help older adults by being advocates and connecting them to resources in their community that might be helpful to them. Using the Care Card, these professionals can more easily complete their assessment of a client to know exactly what they need help with, from ADLs and physical therapy to different living options. The ‘How to Help Me’ section shows a clear and detailed picture of their abilities and disabilities without having to interrogate the client or make them uncomfortable.
