The geriatric care managers that
are listed on this website are members of the National Association
of Professional Geriatric Care Managers, and as such, pledge to
abide by the following ethical standards of practice.
Provision
of Service I will provide ongoing service to you only after
I have assessed your needs and you, or a person designated to act
for you, understand and agree to a plan of service, the results
that may expected from it, and the cost of the service.
Self-Determination I will
base my plan of service on goals you, or a person designated to
act for you, have defined, and which enhance the decisions you  have
made concerning your life.
Loyalty My first duty is
loyalty to you. I will always provide service based on your best
interest, even if this conflicts with my interests or the interest
of others.
Termination of Service I
will end service to you only after reasonable notice. I will recommend
a plan for you to continue to receive service as needed.
Substitute Judgment I will
not substitute my judgment for yours unless I am acting in the role
of your guardian, appointed by a Court of Law, or with your approval
or the approval of someone designated to act for you.
Confidentiality I will hold
in trust any confidence you give me, disclosing information to others
only with your permission, or if I am compelled to so by a belief
that you will be seriously harmed by my silence, or if the laws
of this State require me to do so.
Referrals/Disclosure I will
refer you only to services and organizations I believe to be appropriate
and of good quality. I will fully explain to you any business relationship
I have with any service I propose, and give you information on alternatives,
if at all possible, so that you, or a person designated to act for
you, can make an informed decision to accept or reject the services
I recommended to you.
Cooperation I will strive
to assure cooperation between all of the individuals involved in
providing service and care to you.
Qualifications I am fully
qualified in my profession to provide the services I undertake.
I continue to improve my skills and knowledge by participating in
professional development programs and maintaining certification
and licensing in my profession.
Discrimination I will not
promote or sanction any form of discrimination.
