Family members – along with friends, neighbours, co-workers and members of the person’s faith community – are often informal caregivers. They play a key role on the person’s care team and they may also need care and support themselves to fulfill that role. Case Manager .

He/she initiates services, orders supplies and equipment, and responds to changing client and caregiver conditions and needs.
