(ICAT) Medina County Senior
Inter-Systems Collaborative
Assessment Team 
Senior ICAT is an advocacy program for older adults of Medina County.

Senior ICAT is dedicated to supporting and strengthening families, providing or facilitating family-centered, coordinated, community based, preventative and comprehensive services that identify and respond to the health, human, and social service needs of older adults and their families and the professionals that serve them in Medina County.  

This initiative is funded by the Medina County Family First Council (FY 2009-2010).

Senior ICAT is designed to assist seniors by helping bring together all services and agencies that can help advocate and identify needs to keep seniors functioning at their highest level in their home or in the least restrictive environment safely.

Cases are presented to a team of professionals. This may include an attorney, social worker, counselor, psychologist, nurse and geriatric specialists. A comprehensive assessment of the senior’s status reflects client/family needs, including social, medical and financial. The team, with input from the client/family, will develop a recommended plan of care; then a case manager will refer the client to appropriate services, monitor the provision of these services and evaluate the outcomes.
 
The evaluation and the clinical case management are at no cost to you. Anyone may make a referral. Participation in the Senior ICAT is voluntary and confidential.
