Case Management is the cornerstone of the work done at the Alexian Brothers AIDS Ministry.
Because the well-being of people with HIV/AIDS is tied to three basic needs – proper nutrition, consistent healthcare and stable housing – the first step of the case manager is to address these basics for each resident through an assessment evaluation. Once these basic issues are addressed, the case managers guide the residents in expanding their focus to other issues that will help them maintain a healthy lifestyle. Every resident is assigned an on-site case manager upon being accepted into the program.
Together, the resident and case manager share the overall responsibility for the development, implementation, and execution of a comprehensive and individualized service plan for the resident.
Case Managers monitor, assess, advocate, and refer, to address the complex interaction of HIV/AIDS on a wide spectrum of issues; psychosocial, life skills, mental health, recovery, and spiritual care.
Case Managers are also responsible for assisting residents in securing the appropriate resources that they will need to manage their healthcare and basic human needs.
Using a multidisciplinary team approach that addresses the diverse challenges of each resident, a carefully structured tier system is developed that helps each resident progress step-by-step toward independent living over the course of their maximum 24-month residency.
