Care Corner Community Case Management Service (CCMS) is a community-based service that helps vulnerable seniors and their caregivers who face difficulties in managing their multiple health and social care needs.
CCMS aims to facilitate community-based aged and social care services to meet the needs of seniors so that they can continue to stay in the community for as long as possible, therefore giving them a choice to age-in-place.

Ways We Support
Key features of Community Case Management Service include home visits to provide case management, emotional support, counselling, coordination of social and health care services, and support for caregivers to meet seniors’ social and health care needs.

Information and Referral
With an understanding of the senior’s needs and concerns, our social service professionals will share with them information about support services and community resources that can benefit them.
We may also refer them to partner agencies to provide relevant support.

Care & Service Coordination
We ensure that the seniors’ care needs are adequately addressed e.g. meal delivery, medication/ medical appointment reminders, home maintenance, personal hygiene, social and active ageing activities.
Collaborating with healthcare providers and community partners, we ensure that seniors and their caregivers receive sustainable help and continue to age in the community.

Medical Escort
Community Case Mgmt Service partners with our trained volunteers to support clients who require help to attend their medical appointments.

Counselling
Through our Gerontological Counselling programme, we help seniors address and navigate their personal, social and psychological challenges. Common areas of focus include coping with the loss of a loved one, loneliness, unemployment, health and family relationships.
