Integrated Care Managers help older adults and their caregivers navigate the health care system and provide ongoing support when facing life changes. The primary role of Care Managers is to keep you connected with the care and services you need. Care Managers empower you to be in control of your health, by enhancing decision making skills and providing support to develop effective coping strategies.
Care Managers are taking new referrals to provide older adults, aged 55+, with one-on-one supportive counselling, information, and referrals to other resources so they can live safely at home.
We also provide services to help navigate next steps as individuals/families work through their challenges brought on by changes in physical health, mental health, social and/or financial circumstances.
The SPLC team communicates in English, Chinese (Cantonese and Mandarin), Tamil, Hindi and Malayalam.
