    Home Health Case Management
Case managers coordinate care for people with complex health needs requiring extra, ongoing support to live at home independently.
Their goal is to help people live at home safely and avoid unnecessary or premature admission to a hospital or care facility.
Case management is one of the many Home Health services offered by Fraser Health.

What types of programs and services are offered?
A case manager works closely with clients, their family and friends to:
  • Assess clients' needs
  • Determine clients' eligibility for services
  • Determine the costs for certain services, based on clients' financial situation
  • Plan, coordinate and monitor multiple care services
  • Arrange relief for caregivers
  • Assess whether clients need to move to an assisted living or long term care facility
