I am a case manager for an aged care organisation. I spend my days monitoring clients aged care packages and assisting them to remain in their homes for as long as it is feasible, then assist them to find a suitable facility, or help them to have a dignified and pain free passing in their home. I liaise with families, health professionals and suppliers to ensure all aspects of care are implemented. I work with nursing and scheduling staff to provide care workers for domestic assistance, personal care, transportation, shopping and social supports. My day consists of dealing with concerns that have arose overnight, then managing care plans and budgets. Occasionally, there might be an urgent issue such as a client suffering a fall or medical episode, or even a care worker finding a client deceased. Its my job to supervise the response. I fucking love my job. It's hard, and there's red tape everywhere but it means I am getting very good at fitting round pegs into square holes.
