The Care Managers at Shore Medical Center provide an essential service in helping patients and families identify specific healthcare needs. In addition, the Care Managers assist with developing a plan to provide the best continued care after discharge. Care managers combine the skills of social workers and nurses to assess patients’ physical, economic, emotional, and social situations.
Care managers assess and plan, with the patient and their family, to secure services following discharge, such as: home health care, hospice, rehabilitation, skilled care, and transportation. The Care Managers consult with your physicians and the other members of the health care team, beginning at the time of admission. Our care plans and discharge assessments are highly individualized.
It is important that you and your family understand your medical condition, plan of care and treatment, need for continued hospitalization, prescription medication coverage, and your needs after leaving the hospital. Your care management team can assist with all these issues.

- Alzheimer’s Association Caregiver Support Group
Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia can be both rewarding and challenging. The Alzheimer’s Association Caregiver Support Groups are designed to provide emotional, educational, and social support for caregivers through regularly scheduled meetings.
At Shore Medical Center, this group meets monthly on the second Tuesday at 4:00 p.m. Meetings are held at Shore’s Center for Family Caregivers, conveniently located just steps away from the hospital lobby.
These sessions offer a safe and understanding environment where participants can share experiences, gain practical problem-solving skills, and connect with others facing similar journeys. Caregivers are encouraged to prioritize their own personal, physical, and emotional well-being—an essential part of providing the best possible care for their loved ones.
Whether you are new to caregiving or have been supporting a loved one for years, these support groups can help you feel more confident, informed, and supported.
