PALLIATIVE CARE

Palliative care is any form of medical care or treatment that is designed to prevent and relieve pain and suffering, and to improve quality of life for people facing serious, complex illnesses. This can include psychological and spiritual care and developing a support system to help the individual live as actively as possible. Our team of caregivers, which often includes a social worker or a counselor, can play a role in helping the patient and family cope with the symptoms of disease and illness in ways other than medical/pharmacological intervention. Today, palliative care is provided not only for cancer patients, but also for those who are experiencing chronic, progressive pulmonary disorders, renal disease, chronic heart failure and progressive neurological conditions. Much of the work involves helping patients with complex or severe physical, psychological, social and spiritual problems.

HOSPICE CARE

Guided by a philosophy of compassion and dignity, our hospice approach centers on a dedicated team of healthcare professionals and volunteers who provide ongoing support for both patient and family in familiar surroundings. This care is provided in the belief that by helping the patient and loved ones accept death as a natural part of life, a measure of peace can be restored to the process of dying. By alleviating the patient’s pain and fear, hospice care fosters the spiritual strength to live, as fully as possible, all the days of one’s life.

DIABETES CARE

Successful management of the disease requires changes in lifestyle, diet and personal care. Our staff is experienced in assisting with these care areas. There are two kinds of diabetes – Type I, which involves the lack of insulin, and Type II, which involves insulin resistance. Diet We have a registered dietitian who is trained to provide medical nutrition therapy to our diabetic residents. This may include a diet with controlled amounts of carbohydrates to help regulate blood sugar. Our goal is to help our residents make appropriate food choices to improve their overall health and enhance their quality of life. Treatments Anti-diabetic drugs treat diabetes by lowering glucose levels in the blood. There are different classes of anti-diabetic drugs and their selection and administration depends on the nature of the diabetes and the age and situation of the patient. Our nursing staff will administer the medications necessary to treat the patient’s condition based on his or her doctor’s orders.

NUTRITION THERAPY

Nutrition Therapy is integral to the healing process and the dining experience is an important part of an individual’s medical and social well-being. Therefore, meeting the nutritional needs of our patients with well-balanced meals and snacks is an important part of their overall plan of care. Medical Nutrition Therapy What you eat plays a role in both reducing symptoms from a chronic disease and recovering from an illness. Our Registered Dietitian (RD) is a food and nutrition expert who translates the science of nutrition therapy into practical solutions for healthy living. The RD collaborates with the patient, family, physician, and other members of the interdisciplinary team to implement food-focused and specialized nutrition interventions to improve the patient’s health and quality of life. The RD is skilled in promoting positive lifestyle choices and in the nutrition management of diseases such as:

cancer
celiac disease
diabetes
food allergies
gastrointestinal disorders
heart and cardiovascular disease
kidney disease
malnutrition
obesity
osteoporosis
pulmonary/respiratory disease
stroke recovery
wounds

OTHER TYPES OF CARE

REHABILITATION THERAPY

Our rehabilitation therapists are committed to helping each patient and resident achieve positive outcomes, regain function and safely return home as quickly as their recovery allows. We provide treatment specifically tailored to our patients’ needs and capabilities. Personalized treatment begins at admission with a rehabilitation therapy screening that takes into consideration each patient’s medical condition and their ability to undertake rehabilitation therapy. Our rehabilitation therapy program is designed to produce positive outcomes, including but not limited to:

improved mobility
improved ability to do self-care tasks
the ability to cope with the disease process
tools to prevent further complications
managing pain
providing hope and encouragement

Types of Rehabilitation Therapy Physical Therapy Probably the most commonly known form of rehabilitation therapy, physical therapy is the treatment of disease or disability through therapy and exercise. Our programs include assistance with gait training, bed mobility, wound care, restraint reduction and wheelchair positioning. Occupational Therapy Occupational therapy is designed to help patients regain skills related to activities of daily living. Individuals may require this therapy if, as the result of an illness or injury, they have difficulty completing tasks such as eating, dressing, housekeeping or grooming. Speech-Language Pathology Speech-language therapists work with patients to help them regain or strengthen their ability to speak with ease and clarity. Our speech therapists utilize the latest technology and clinical processes to help patients regain the ability to communicate and improve swallowing.

SUPPORT SERVICES

Beyond clinical and restorative care, we offer support services to aid you in your recovery as well as in your transition to home or another level of care. These services include care transition, case management, social services and patient/family education. CARE TRANSITION PLANNING AND SUPPORT Your recovery is clearly based on your specific healthcare needs. Our team will conduct a thorough review of your pre-event abilities, and we will continue to assess your abilities throughout your stay. As your discharge nears, we’ll make sure you understand the problems to watch for and what to do about them. We will review your list of medications with you and make sure that arrangements are made for any medical equipment you might need. We will also be happy to talk with the people who will assist you when you are discharged. We want to educate them on your needs, goals and progress as well as any tasks requiring special skills like changing a bandage or giving a shot. Our caring professionals are here to make your transition to your home a smooth one. CASE MANAGEMENT SUPPORT Case Management is a collaborative approach to provide and coordinate health care services. Our Case Management Coordinators (CMC) work with the patient, family, physicians, center staff and other health care providers to ensure the patient receives all the necessary services to promote healing while planning for a safe . We know that Case Management improves customer satisfaction and improves patient outcomes. We are one of the few organizations that advocate for a true case management model to coordinate the needs of the patient. PATIENT, FAMILY AND CAREGIVER EDUCATION Overview: A Door Opens -Kindred’s Family Education Program: Partners in Caring focuses on answering questions, offering information and insight, and helping you or your loved one through the admission process into one of our nursing homes, whether for a short-term stay or for long-term recovery. Creating a Partnership -Partners in Caring are designed to educate, inform and assist in the formation of realistic expectations about nursing homes. The first step is to outline what must occur in order for the resident and his/her family to make realistic decisions about long-term healthcare. Entering a nursing home requires adaptation on the part of the resident and his/her support network. We can help by informing you about what to expect as this new life phase begins.

Short-Term Rehabilitation

A nursing home generally includes two types of residents – those who are receiving short-term rehabilitation to recover from an injury or illness, and those with multiple medical, issues or illnesses that cause them to not be able to care for themselves, who are receiving long-term care. Whenever possible, the short-term resident is sent home. In some cases, they resume their lives and continue their recovery; in other cases, they may experience a relapse or another health issue and be readmitted.

Activities and Events

Keeping our patients and residents involved in interesting and varied activities and events is one more way we promote healing and recovery. We have a staff of certified activities professionals who create and coordinate activities at our center. Activities are tailored to a resident’s and patient’s individual interests and abilities and include:

outdoor pursuits
entertainment and audience participation
games and other activities to sharpen mental abilities
spiritual enhancement and reflection
