ProcessA Care Manager conducts an initial assessment that collects information to evaluate the senior’s situation, functioning, and needs. Seniors who qualify

for available services work with their caregiver(s) and the Care Manager to develop an individualized service plan. The Care Manager reassesses seniors after 30 days and annually (or more frequently based on any changes) to evaluate if those services still meet their needs.

Senior Services, a section of Gwinnett County Health and Human Services, helps

Gwinnett County residents age 60 or older (or their spouses) enhance their quality of life and

maintain their independence through education, support, referrals, and free or low cost services.

Seniors must apply and qualify for services, which may have waiting lists; however, seniors

who demonstrate: economic need (living at or below the federal poverty level), social

need (living with physical and mental disabilities, language

barriers, and cultural, social, or geographic isolation), or

frailty/institutional risk (not performing at least two activities of daily living without substantial

assistance) may receive priority. Seniors who do not qualify for services may receive information

and referrals as applicable.

Senior Services’ Care Managers use astrength-based and collaborative approach that determines needs for services, support, and resources, and

develops a service plan that capitalizes on seniors’ remaining strengths. Care

Managers strive to help seniors: increase and improve their

access to and quality of service; develop an individualized service plan; build and strengthen their family and community support; enable them to remain in

the most appropriate and safest environment; maintain their independence and dignity; identify and enhance their knowledge, skills, and assets; and educate and support

them and their caregiver(s).
