GRON 2310 - Case Management and Assessment of the Elderly

Credits: 3

The focus of this course is on case management and assessment of the elderly in community-based long-term care. More specifically, this course focuses on case management designed to maintain frail elderly in their own homes rather than on case management designed for post-acute situations (discharge planning). The perspective on assessment will be similarly focused. Although hospital-based (in-patient) clinical assessment and institutional (nursing home) assessment will be addressed, this course does not overly focus on these methods.
