Abstract Details

2008, Master of Gerontological Studies, Miami University, Gerontology.
As policies in the last two decades have shifted toward community-based care, case managers have become an increasingly important part of the delivery system. Serving as the mediator between older adults needing care and the service providers, case managers need to be the advocate for consumer needs and manage the costs of care for adults experiencing a chronic disability (Dill, 2001; Applebaum and Austin, 1990). Case managers are now working with an increasingly frail population with more complex needs in an era of extreme financial pressures. This qualitative study examined the perceptions of case managers in two community-based care programs through the use of in-depth interviews. Findings include: experience is influential on stress and coping, all case managers are highly supportive of the shift to community-based care, and this high level of support creates personal and professional rewards that counteract occupational stresses.
