The surge in our aging population is here. Baby boomers are reaching seniority and the curve will continue to escalate. Caseloads for older Americans in declining health are increasing and the need for caseworkers is rising to meet the demand. 

L&C’s case management program is specifically designed to address this change in demographics. You will be trained as a geriatric case manager to assist individuals in both assessing and meeting a full plate of needs: personal, social, legal, and medical. 

Employment for case managers can be as independent practitioners or as associates in traditional healthcare fields of medicine, nursing, homecare, dental, physical and/or occupational therapy, or in more diverse areas of consumer needs and retail shopping. 

This program is offered as four two-credit-hour theory classes in an Internet format, followed by a two-credit-hour on-site practicum. You must have access to a computer with Internet connection. Computer labs are available for student use on campus.

This program is designed for students with or without medical backgrounds. There are no prerequisites—just the will to be part of this caring profession.
