Geriatric care managers help families meet seniors' needs

By BOB MOOS / The Dallas Morning News
Excerpt:

Kim Warwick, an only child who lives in Los Angeles, said she sought professional advice when her mother in Dallas began showing more signs of Alzheimer's disease a year ago.

Her care manager, Carole Larkin, specializes in the care of people with dementia and helped persuade Ms. Warwick's mother to give up her car keys. When the older woman could no longer remain at home, Ms. Larkin recommended several assisted-living communities.

Now Ms. Warwick flies to Dallas to visit her mother every other month, and Ms. Larkin regularly stops by the dementia-care community.
