How Do You Keep Your Patients at Home?
With
Integrated ElderCare®.
Our unique "model of care"
is often duplicated, as studies have shown that our approach
is extremely beneficial to the patient and their family. Integrated
Eldercare®
is based upon our belief that when we care for an
Alzheimer's or dementia patient, we are caring for the
patient, caregiver and the entire family as a
whole.
Most of
our patient's not only suffer from Alzheimer's disease or
dementia, but have been diagnosed with other chronic
conditions such as: diabetes, heart disease, arthritis,
congestive heart failure (CHF), anxiety and/or depression.
Our care
managers create, implement and monitor an
ElderCare Plan®
that
not only provides ongoing and continuous care, but that
incorporates all of the medical, physical, social,
psychological and spiritual needs of the patient. Each care
manager directs a multidisciplinary team that assures that
all of the patient's needs are met.
