A case manager's perspective
Article Abstract:
Elder care case management involves individualized and client-focused therapy aiming towards client independence, autonomy, protection of rights, and access to services while accounting for individual differences and values. The case situations account for both formal ethical protocols and the subjects' personal ethos along with the issues of quality of life. The role of case managers becomes more effective by incorporating the expertise of other professionals. Case studies highlight the ethical issues and dilemmas experienced in treating abused aged people.
