What Is an Elder Care Coordinator?

Barbara Spangenberg

The Elder Care Coordinator is an experienced geriatric care professional who is a part of the legal team working with our senior clients and families. The ECC functions as the point of contact for the family and assists in coordinating services and administrative work, all an integral part in long term care planning. Your Elder Care Coordinator has extensive knowledge about the costs, quality, and availability of resources in the community. As our families begin their journey through the long-term care system, it is helpful for them to have a supportive and knowledgeable advocate to accompany them along the way.
