OVERVIEW & BENEFITS - NURSE CASE MANAGEMENT
The Nurse Case Management program supports individuals on two different levels: the no-charge service and the private fee-for-service.

PROGRAM DETAILS
Jewish Family Services of New Mexico provides fee-for-service RN Case Management services in conjunction with the Geriatric Case Management Service. Referrals can be made directly for the RN or by having the Geriatric Case Management make an assessment and refer to the RN as needed.
Our experienced Registered Nurse can visit the home and conduct a physical assessment of the client as well as review their medications and how they are being managed. The nurse will then develop an individualized plan to help organize the medications and will communicate with the physician and family as needed.
Frequency of visits can vary and can be individualized to need for fee-for-service clients. The no-charge nursing visits are up to once a week for a limited duration.
