If you are new to the world of care management, you have likely been taken aback by the many different terms and phrases common to the field. In truth, it may seem like much of the terminology can be understood through simple word association and knowing the definitions of the words. For example, we obviously know what the words  “elder” and “care” mean. The average person could put the two together and determine that the meaning of this pertains to caring for an elder. However, the true scope of that care varies depending on what company you hire. Allow us to explain exactly what we mean by “Elder Care” at CJ & Associates Care Consulting.
