A case management assistant provides support for patients and senior staff to assist in a transfer of care. You prepare any necessary documentation to ease the transition, determine what kind of services patients need, and coordinate with other workers. Responsibilities vary with the type of position. Some case management assistants work with the elderly to ensure they can continue to live an independent life. Others help people with disabilities meet their basic needs to safeguard their quality of life. You may also provide support for people with addictions to transition into a sober lifestyle.
