Community Care Management
Iona Community Care Management is available to older adults who are having difficulty managing life on their own and need help with a variety of aging-related topics, including accessing public benefits, arranging home care, finding housing, and more.
Community Care Management is only available to DC residents who live in Ward 3 and meet certain financial requirements. There is often a wait list for these services, with priority given to individuals most in need.
Iona Community Care Managers are licensed social workers who partner with vulnerable older adults to help them manage crises and ongoing life needs. Our care managers are available to:
- Assess how well an older adult is managing on their own and what care might be needed
- Arrange and monitor home care and other services
- Schedule medical appointments and facilitate doctor/patient communication
- Provide short-term crisis management
- Apply for government benefits/services
- Connect individuals to Iona and other community programs and services, and
- Provide other supports as needed.
I couldn't be more positive about Iona. My care manager is calm, competent, and she knows the ropes.
