We want to be your partner of choice in the new shared
savings environment. At Juniper Communities, we have
been collecting critical data for nearly 10 years. For example,
we closely monitor residents to assure successful returns
from either the hospital or rehabilitation setting.
Another contributing factor to acute re-admissions is
infections, in particular Urinary Tract Infections (UTI).
The senior population can be extremely susceptible to
infections and proper care and monitoring is paramount.
Our wellness response team is skilled in recognizing
symptoms of UTI in order to provide proactive interventions
that reduce the need for hospitalization.
Another common cause of both initial hospitalizations
and rehospitalizations is medication errors. Changes to
medication regime whether after a scheduled physician
appointment or emergency hospitalization can leave
patients confused about what medications are most
current. Our wellness team is responsible for medication
reconciliation and management, a process which virtually
eliminates medication errors.
Communication is key and Juniper Village, Wellspring
Memory Care at Brookline takes communication to the
next level through:
• Use of Electronic Health Records (Point Click Care)
• Optimized care transitions protocols
• Full implementation of INTERACT
(Interventions to Reduce Acute Care Transfers)
• Use of a highly recognizable and consistent
transfer information packet
• Focus on resident and care giver education
and engagement
• Individualized care and service
To be honest, I had no idea that there were such things as memory care facilities. I think it is great! Older people who are losing their memory definitely need special care. My family is starting to think that my Grandma is losing her memory. A place like this could be just what she needs! http://www.rivergrandmn.com/
