Under contract with the Milwaukee County Department on Aging, Community Care serves as the Care Management Unit of the Milwaukee County Family Care program. Staff includes five Registered Nurse Case Managers, 10 Social Work Case Managers and a Unit Manager.
Two additional Community Care programs provide case management and brokered in-home services to Milwaukee County residents who are elderly and disabled, but want to remain in their homes:
- Grandfathered Community Care Demonstration Program, which was the model for the COP waiver program adopted by the State of Wisconsin
- Comprehensive Community Care Program, supported by United Way
Community Care also provides case management services to elderly and disabled people in Kenosha and Manitowoc counties through Kenosha County Aging and Disability Resource Center and Manitowoc County Department of Human Services.
More than 40 Community Care employees work in these Community Care programs, which serve approximately 1,200 elderly or disabled people.
