We want to be your partner of choice in the new shared
savings environment. At Juniper Village at Chatham, we
have been collecting critical data for nearly 10 years. For
example, we closely monitor residents to assure successful
returns from either the hospital or rehabilitation setting.
Many hospitalizations in seniors are due to poor nutrition
and dehydration. Our wellness and care teams monitor
changes in appetite daily.
Another contributing factor to acute re-admissions is
infections, in particular Urinary Tract Infections (UTI).
The senior population can be extremely susceptible to
infections and proper care and monitoring is paramount.
Our wellness response team is skilled in recognizing
symptoms of UTI in order to provide proactive interventions
that reduce the need for hospitalization.
Communication is key and Juniper Village at Chatham
takes communication to the next level through:
• Use of Electronic Health Records (Point Click Care)
• Optimized care transitions protocols
• Full implementation of INTERACT
(Interventions to Reduce Acute Care Transfers)
• Use of a highly recognizable and consistent
transfer information packet
• Focus on resident and care giver education
and engagement
• Individualized care and service
