Care that combines knowledge and
compassion is the hallmark of our Elder Care. Our credentialed
physicians and nurse practitioners
have special expertise with elderly
patients. This expertise, delivered with a caring touch, helps
our patients maintain their ability to
get around and their quality of life
overall.
Our patients don't have to come to us to get care — we go to where they are
Besides being much easier for our patients, our practice of visiting them where they are allows for timely
evaluations and treatment. And that
reduces visits to the emergency room
and hospitalization. For patients in
rehabilitation, our coming to them
creates more time for physical and
occupational therapy appointments,
since there are fewer trips to the
clinic.
Helping to manage multiple conditions
As people age, it becomes more
and more important to assist them in
managing chronic and multiple
diseases and conditions, as well as
the accompanying medications. We
interact closely with other specialty
departments to coordinate care. We also work jointly with
hospice and palliative care to keep
patients comfortable and cared for.
And if one of our patients
develops a fever at 2 a.m., they
don't need to wait until morning
for our response. We are on call 24
hours a day, seven days a week.
