Professional Geriatric Care Management What We Do. Geriatric Care Management is, in essence, the preventative and mitigatory approach to healthcare for the elderly. Some have characterized the role of the Geriatric Care Manager (“GCM”), somewhat simplistically, as that of a medically knowledgably, surrogate daughter/son. Typically clients of a GCM are the children of the elderly people who as a result of business and other commitments are not available or able to manage the care of their parents. These children nevertheless wish to fully understand the care needs of their loved ones and ensure appropriate delivery of essential care.
