Medical Care in the Comfort of Home

Feb 22, 2022

Primary Care Visits in Assisted Living Enhance Life

Medical care for assisted living residents is easily accessible and can prevent emergency care for the elderly residents.

 

At Heathwood Assisted Living and Memory Care , our interdisciplinary care team takes pride in helping residents maintain their independence. With our coordinated care approach, you can have peace of mind knowing an attentive team of senior care experts is on-site every day focusing on caring for residents in the comfort of their assisted living home.

 

With nursing staff present 24/7 to tend to our residents’ needs, lend a helping hand for proper medication management, toileting, bathing, and so much more, Heathwood residents and their families can rest assured they have chosen the right assisted living facility to help them age in place.

 

Our nursing staff and aides keep an eye on residents’ health status and are quick to identify any changes. Under their trained, watchful supervision, residents benefit from early detection of developing health concerns. catching developing medical conditions early often means we can treat the resident on-site, right in their own apartment rather than sending them out to the hospital.

 

If an emergency does arise, help is mere steps away; this can make all the difference when time is of the essence getting emergency treatment. For the resident affected by Alzheimer’s Disease or dementia, treating them in the environment they’re already familiar with can also minimize the disorientation, agitation and emotional upset that can come with a hospitalization or trip out to an unfamiliar environment.

 

Additionally, making the most of your amenities by using the medical staff on-site for your primary care appointments and checkups eliminates the challenge of scheduling an appointment off-site at a doctor’s office, braving our hazardous winter travel conditions to get to the appointment, and the inconvenience of time spent sitting, waiting in a crowded waiting room. The doctors and practitioners available to see Heathwood Assisted Living and Memory Care residents on-site specialize in caring for the elderly. And because it’s paid for through medical insurance it makes it a seamless experience. For your convenience, we also offer podiatry services to spare you the hassle of coordinating another appointment off-site.

 

Let us show you how our team of medical professionals and senior care teams work together to help your loved one to live safely and at their best in our caring assisted living community.
