Abstract

This article originally was prepared as a resource guide to assist the nation's Area Agencies on Aging as they begin developing or expanding services for the caregivers of older adults. A seminal question they face is how to provide case management service for this particular target population. The article reviews the literature on case management service generally, including its goals, functions, models, and outcomes. Its primary purpose, however, is to explicate the specific issues for providers to consider when planning and implementing case management service for caregivers. The article concludes with recommendations based on the results of evaluation research to maximize the benefits of caregiver services.
