Concerns they commonly address
Dementia
The pages state that working with residents with dementia is an everyday occurrence in long-term care.
Urinary incontinence
The pages describe urinary incontinence as a symptom of a medical condition rather than a condition in itself.
Falls
The pages state that elders have the highest risk of a fall, especially those in long-term care facilities.
Services
Dementia Management
Establishes activities to increase resident function while minimizing behavioral interruptions, using the Global Deterioration Scales to determine cognitive level.
Short-Term Rehab
Focuses on quick recovery in function and safety, with discharge planning from admission and home safety evaluations after discharge.
Continence Improvement
Uses techniques such as scheduled voiding, bladder retraining and pelvic muscle strengthening to decrease incidences of incontinence.
Wellness
Assesses each resident's strengths, limitations and goals, and works with facility administrators on fitness programs and exercise equipment.
Fall Prevention
Identifies patients at risk of falls and, after a fall, examines the factors that led to it and addresses them.
