Adult Services Case Management
“There are so many ways case management has been helpful. It’s nice to know I always have someone on my side and that there is someone you can call who always has your back.”
Consumer of Community Care’s Adult Case Management Program
The Adult Services Program serves adults who are living independently in the community and need support and assistance to remain out of hospitals or other supportive living situations, such as group care. Some of our adult consumers may need a less intense level of case management support, requiring case management services to secure resources necessary to meet their basic needs, and acquiring skills to manage the demands of independent living. Community Care is a Behavioral Health Home, providing care coordination when appropriate to successfully integrate our care management services with the physical health care system.
