Hospital to Home: The Importance of Transitional Care »	Post Hospital Care After Pneumonia »	Senior Suicide Prevention »

Here we are -- already into 2013!

We begin the year with three VERY important topics for Seniors, and those responsible for their care and support.

For more information regarding any one of these topics - please give us a call (see telephone numbers below!) and we'll be glad to answer any inquiries. If we don't have the answer readily available, we will perform the appropriate research and provide you with an accurate response!

Our practice is to meet with any prospective client for a private consultation in their residence (by appointment) prior to establishing service. There is no obligation or cost for the consultation. At that time, we discuss service options and create a customized plan-of-care, tailored to each client's needs.

If you reside in the WCBI-TV viewing area, we invite you to view our Senior Health Segment on the Mid-Morning with Aundrea news program. We are featured on the second Tuesday of each month. If you miss a segment - it can be viewed on her web site at www.wcbi.com/midmorning-with-aundrea.

Yours in Service,

Hospital to Home:
The Importance of Transitional Care

Seniors are of special concern during hospital to home transitions, especially those who suffer medical conditions and are required to take different medications at varying times of the day. Sending someone from a care facility such as a hospital, where around-the-clock monitoring is prevalent, to an environment where little or no interaction occurs requires advance planning to ensure the transition is smooth and safe.

Post Hospital Care After Pneumonia

It may take a while for the senior to regain strength and feel good again after pneumonia. This home recovery period can be crucial for pneumonia patients. In order to fully recover, it is important to follow the health care provider's directions. Be aware of your loved one's body and if you or him or her feel any slight decline, contact your doctor for advice. Click here to learn more
