CAARE Clients

Case Management

When prospective clients come through our doors they often feel a sense of despair, anger and isolation. The case manager offers the client strict confidentiality and serves as a professional mentor assisting the client in gaining back his/her self esteem, dignity, independence and a healthy life style. The case manager does that by meeting privately with each client to assess his/her problems and design a plan of care tailored to meet the client's individual needs.

CAARE's Case Management services include: · Comprehensive needs assessment and evaluation · Care Plan development · Linkages to healthcare services · Linkages to psycho-social support services · Referrals to community resources · Housing referrals/placement · Volunteer opportunities · At-risk behavior education and intervention

Who is eligible for Case Management services? Individuals diagnosed with HIV/AIDS who live in North Carolina with documentation of: · Confidential positive HIV results · A physician's statement · Hospital discharge statement or other medical report which verifies diagnosis · Medical prescriptions of AZT, ddl, or ddC · Copy of approval for participation in the state's HIV Medications program

How often does a client need to meet with a case manager? The client meets with a case manager according to his/her individual needs to identify any current or potential problem that may arise throughout the coordination of care.

Does Case Management cost anything? No. Case management services are free to the client and are billed directly to Medicaid, Ryan White or Cap-Aids.
