Case management and care planning are central to our elder law practice. We have to actively monitor the care arrangements for the beneficiaries of our trusts. We also act as guardian (of the person) or conservator (of the estate). Both require us to manage care for vulnerable individuals.

In this podcast episode, we discuss some of our experience with case management issues. If you are responsible for overseeing the care of an aging and vulnerable individual, we might have some insight to share about those techniques and goals.

Of course, your goal in handling the affairs of another individual should be to support, but not necessarily control, the individual. Maintaining individual autonomy and balancing the need for safety can be challenging. Also rewarding.
