B. J. Curry Spitler, who died in 2004, pioneered a geriatric care management model that combined care management with home health services, and emphasised high levels of training and professionalism for all members of the care team. This assessment of her life is provided by someone who both worked with Spitler (to produce a marketing plan for her agency, Age Concerns) and used her services to care for her mother.
