Senior Management Services, located in Central Pennsylvania, is an organization comprised of geriatric care managers who specialize in providing caregiving alternatives and solutions for older people and their families. We can guide you through the confusing maze of healthcare alternatives available and save families hours of time locating and coordinating services.
Since 1990, Senior Management Services has been providing eldercare management for older persons all across Central Pennsylvania. At SMS, we recognize that sometimes those we love and care about aren’t always right down the street; sometimes they aren’t even in the same state. Sometimes you need the peace of mind knowing that someone is keeping an eye on your loved ones even when you can’t always be there.
Our geriatric care managers work with older persons in their homes to assess their needs and community options. We offer advice and counseling to caregivers, and support to individuals residing in nursing homes or assisted living facilities. Eldercare could also be an option for you if you live a significant distance from your older loved ones.
