Comprehensive Care Management Programs

Our Comprehensive Care Management Programs (CCMP) are focused on helping people of all ages living with long-term illnesses. We bring them emotional and practical support that helps them maintain their independence, manage their lives, and deal with the challenges they face daily.

Services are provided by CCMP and are made possible by state and federal funds through state waiver programs. There are no out-of-pocket expenses for any of our clients.

Our team approach, offering an exhaustive range of lifestyle services and up-to-date medical direction from knowledgeable clinicians, ensures that each of our clients receives the highest quality support to live well and independently, for as long as possible.

HIV/AIDS Case Management Program (HACM)

OUR APPROACH

Quality-of-life coaching – We coordinate just about every aspect of living successfully with HIV/AIDS, with a focus on life improvement. Whatever it takes for our clients to achieve the best outcome, we attend to it.

Advocacy – There are countless resources available to our clients, and we pursue them diligently. They include:

1. Medical
2. Legal
3. Financial
4. Transportation
5. Housing/Utilities/Food

Education – HIV/AIDS is greatly misunderstood. We inform our clients about all there is to know, and about everything new that comes along – on such subjects as disease process, transmission and health options.

Anyone can start the referral process: client, physicians or a case manager. For more information please call 619-278-6400 or send us an e-mail at hacm@sdhospice.org.
