Description of Work
CASE MANAGEMENT
One program of the AAA is the intensive case management program. The case management program provides interdisciplinary care coordination for people 60 and older. The program is devoted to providing telephone and in-home services. Case Managers perform interviews, assessment, and intake of clients to determine needs; develop, explain, and provide follow-up on action plans; coordinate the exchange of information and provision of client services with other agencies; conduct on-site client visits; determine appropriate resources and make referrals to both internal and external programs; document program information; determine the need for crisis intervention, and provide training and community education for groups and individuals.
A case management intern performs many functions in coordination with full-time case management staff. In return, interns experience the satisfaction of connecting people with services and resources that will allow them to live independently in the community of their choosing. Additionally, interns learn the resources, government benefits, and systems across Denver's eight-county area. And, finally, case management interns will gain experience using a person-centered approach and communication style while interacting with the people who need to feel heard.
Functions/Tasks

• Under the case management team's supervision and support, provide care management utilizing the Denver region's community-based resources and in-house AAA programs to consumers, their families, and service providers.
• Provide face-to-face information, consultation, and referral to clients regarding the resources and services available to older persons and their families.
• Working with individual consumers to identify gaps in services, report findings, and advocate for identified needs.
