Implementing a Senior Healthcare Plan

- Face-to-face meetings with our patient care representatives.
- Integrated care management within primary care practices.
- Providing varying levels of care based on the patient’s needs.
- Ease transitions from hospitals to rehab to home with our transitional care management program.
- Utilize electronic medical records to improve patient communication, prevent duplication, and assist in identifying preventive care opportunities.
Challenges such as the financial burden of elder care, chronic health conditions, and safety concerns in independent living situations are unique to the aging population. Our specialized senior care team helps to address many of these issues by reducing hospitalizations and the overall cost of medical care and identifying and arranging community resources. Our senior services can improve patient outcomes and healthcare experience satisfaction.
Patient and Family Engagement
As our loved ones age, family plays an increasingly important role in helping manage healthcare and the individual needs of seniors. Therefore, we encourage family members to be involved in the decision-making process. The family’s involvement in decisions helps to reduce confusion and improves the compliance and safety of treatment regimens.
Our senior healthcare services provide resources and educational materials to keep families informed on specific health conditions and tips to help care for aging family members. Our care specialist will inform you of the options for your family to help provide additional care and transportation as needed.
Using Technology to Improve Senior Healthcare
Technology has made access to care more convenient which significantly benefits our senior patients who have mobility issues or may not drive. Telehealth appointments allow clinicians and the healthcare team to bring care to the patient’s home. Use of our patient portal allows patients to access their records, send questions, or request medication refills whenever it is convenient.
Technology can allow seniors to live independently longer and more safely and provide family members with an added measure of comfort. Examples include medication management devices, fall detection and emergency alert systems, and adaptive utensils.
