Case Management

Case Management Services - Meals on Wheels of Rhode Island’s case managers provide services to over one thousand elderly per year throughout the city of Providence. The Case Management Department provides a full range of social services for residents 60 years of age and older.  With these services, each client receives an assessment of their needs. Once their needs are determined, a Care Plan is developed which includes a variety of options that allow older adults to remain in their own home. A case manager will monitor the care plan and offer support for the elder and his or her family members.

The case manager works closely with the RI Department of Elderly Affairs. (RIDEA)

Services include:

Home And Community Care Program - based on eligibility, this program provides seniors with personal and home care. To be eligible, a person must be age 65 and over, reside in the city of Providence and have a level of care that shows the client needs homehealth services.

Assisted Living Waiver Program – Certain Assisted living facilities offer rooms or apartments, meals, assistance with personal care and medications. There are three programs to assist low income elders interested in residing in assisted living.

Protective Services – The case manager offers social service support and comfort to those elders who suffer from physical or psychological abuse, financial exploitation, and abandonment or neglect. The elder who can no longer care for him/herself thus becoming a self-neglect client could be eligible for a myriad of services that a case manager would provide and monitor.
