A system of care coordinated by an interdisciplinary team of medical professionals in a comfortable setting to meet the medical, physical, emotional and behavioral needs of the elderly
Satyanand Geriatric Care Unit helps the elderly to discern the best way to improve their health and maintain functional ability. We encourage Self-Management of chronic conditions, providing regular assessment, with regular medical and non medical care. We inform and educate family members about elder's health condition and medical needs.
Medical care for the elderly is often difficult to access, fragmented, discontinuous, inefficient, unsafe and expensive. Often, important aspects of care fall through the crack, resulting in avoidable Emergency Room visits and ICU admission. For these reasons Satyanand Geriatric Care Unit takes responsibility of the elderly by ensuring optimal care for the elderly, providing respite for the family members and minimizing costs.
Satyanand Geriatric Care Unit helps family members to meet elder's needs by communicating relevant information and assisting in complex decision making related to health and well being of the elder, including hospice/palliative care.
1.Is your elder dealing with chronic condition(s)?
2.Has your elder had a fall, has difficulty with memory and managing medications, or has concerns related to his or her safety?
3.Has your elder had frequent trips to doctor, hospitalization or ICU stay that has increased stress on you and other family members?
4.Is your elder recovering from surgery, illness or accident with no one to take care at home?
5.Are you concerned because you are unable to give quality time and care to your elder as you are staying away?
6.Are you seeking trustworthy assistance to care for your elder?
