IN-HOME SERVICES PROGRAM | NASSAU COUNTY OFFICE FOR THE AGING
Offers In-home services and supports funded under the Expanded In-home Services for the Elderly Program (EISEP) and administered by Nassau County Office for the Aging and its subcontractor agencies. Care coordination is a person-centered planning process that takes place between a qualified case manager/care coordinator, the applicant, and, often, members of the applicant’s informal support network. Care coordination begins with a comprehensive assessment that identifies an individual’s needs, abilities, preferences and available resources. Next, a care plan is developed based on the findings of the assessment. The care plan is a coordinated package of services and supports derived from multiple sources to best meet the applicant’s needs. Finally, ongoing monitoring helps to ensure that the plan is adequate and the program participant is meeting his/her goals and is residing safely in the community. Call for detailed information.
