    Respite And Recovery

    Everyone needs a little respite!

    Our respite program is available for a 7 to 60 day stay. When informal caregivers require a leave or if you are recovering from illness, injury or disease, we have a place for you to stay. Due to the short-term and/or acute nature of the service, it is offered as a complete, individualized package including:

    • Furnished apartment
    • All utilities (except phone)
    • Three meals per day
    • Housekeeping
    • Weekly linen and personal laundry
    • Emergency response system
    • Group activities
    • 24 hour staffing

    • Assistance with personal cares such as bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, eating and mobility
    • Medication administration
    • Medication set-up
    • Nurse supervision and monitoring by trained staff

    There is a per day cost for respite care services; please call for rates. Discharge is anticipated within 60 days, or an assessment by one of our registered nurses is completed to determine current status and make recommendations for appropriate service options. Other skilled services, such as physical therapy, will need to be purchased from the health care provider of your choice.

    Therapy & Rehabilitation

    At Aberdeen Health & Rehab, we offer outpatient therapy and short stay rehabilitation. Short stay rehabilitation is designed for those individuals who are recovering from a traumatic experience or scheduled surgery. We provide our patients state-of-the-art rehabilitation services and offer physical, occupational, speech and a wider array of specialized therapies. With a personalized therapy program that is designed to help each individual to succeed, we can accomplish our goal to get our patients back to where they call home as soon as possible.

    Outpatient therapy is a form of treatment that is offered to people who do not need to be in a skilled nursing setting on a continued basis. A number of therapies can be offered on an outpatient basis, including occupational, speech, physical, and post-surgical care. Many patients like this type of treatment because it allows them to receive necessary medical care while staying at home. It also allows the patient to live a relatively normal life, simply setting aside time to attend therapy sessions while working, spending time with family and socializing with friends.

    Our therapeutic equipment works in conjunction with traditional therapy practices to ensure that people succeed when they leave our community. This state-of-the-art equipment was designed for professional athletes, but then was tweaked to meet the needs of our senior population. Very few communities have invested in this technology, and we have found it to not only help speed the recovery of our patients, but it is a great non-pharmacological, non-invasive form of pain management.

    Physical Therapy
    Physical therapy (PT) works to improve and promote optimal physical mobility. Often, treatment consists of exercise to improve strength, mobility training to improve transfer and walking skills and balance training to minimize fall risks. Services can also include modalities to assist with healing and pain relief such as ultrasound, hot/cold packs and electrical stimulation.

    Occupational Therapy
    Occupational Therapy (OT) works to improve and promote optimal activities of daily living (ADLs). Often, treatment consists of exercises to improve strength, ADL training to improve dressing, feeding and hygiene skills and cognitive training to improve safety awareness. Services can also include obtaining, applying and training on positioning and adaptive equipment.

    Speech Therapy
    Speech Therapy (ST) works to improve and promote optimal swallowing and communication skills. Treatment consists of assessing for and making appropriate diet recommendations, exercises to increase oral motor and swallow strength and speech and communication training.

    Visiting Physicians

    Aberdeen Health & Rehab partners with physicians to provide on-site primary care. This is an approach where primary care providers, families and patients work in partnership to improve health outcomes and quality of life for individuals with acute illnesses and chronic health conditions or disabilities. This team approach to care gives you access to all the services and support you needed while offering the comfort and convenience of staying in your own home.

    Engage

    At Aberdeen Health and Rehab, we are committed to ensuring our patients are engaged and prepared to succeed when they leave our community. We have integrated a state-of-the art solution called Engage that allows our staff to easily track the progress of each patient, provides management intelligence to our team, and ensures each patient has the tools, resources, and support necessary to self-manage at home.
    While providing the highest quality of clinical care is always forefront, we recognize that the ability to self-manage after discharge is dependent upon several key factors:

    We actively engage the patient and the family early in the stay.

    • Preparation for transition begins at admission.
    • The engaged patient takes an active role in their recovery process.

    We learn as much as possible about the patient, their prior living situation, and their expectations.

    • Having a clear understanding of the expectations of the patient and the family paves the way for productive communication.
    • Closing expectation gaps to the greatest extent possible sets the stage for successful transitions.

    We listen to our patients ‘In the Moment’.

    • We use ‘In the Moment’ conversations during the course of each stay to listen to our patients while they are with us.
    • Their feedback gives us the opportunity to address any issues immediately so that by the time they leave us they feel well prepared to self-manage.

    We provide each patient with timely, relevant education.

    • Providing relevant education is a cornerstone for successful patient outcomes.
    • Engage’s Accelerated Patient Learning provides customized, patient-centered education paths.

    Upon discharge, each patient receives a customized, comprehensive set of transition instructions for managing their care.

    • The transition (discharge) plan is written for the patient and outlines a clear program to help them or their family members manage their care.
    • Patients are encouraged to take the transition plan with them to follow-up appointments with health care professionals following them after discharge.

    Active, ongoing post-transition follow-up with each patient is a priority.

    • We understand that follow-up after discharge is critical to our patient’s ability to successfully manage their own care.
    • We are able to connect with patients actively and provide early intervention on issues that may lead to readmission through Engage’s Continuum Manager.

    Medication Management

    Providing the best care possible!

    Our experienced team has been committed to quality improvement through innovation and alignment with our core mission. Listening and responding to the needs of our tenants and families is imperative to maintaining our commitment to quality care. One area of ongoing concern in healthcare is medication management —specifically medication errors, overuse, and thorough, quality review.

    In response to this need we’ve come together with pharmacy experts utilizing an affiliate organization to meet our needs. TotalCare Pharmacy will provide extensive benefits, with pharmacy services tailored to our processes, allowing Tealwood managed and owned properties to provide you the best care possible.

    We understand that the 360 approach to healthcare is crucial for the best care delivery possible. … because the journey matters.

    Medication Therapy Management

    Our unique program

    According to the American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy, a pharmacist’s care resulted in reduced and avoided costs by “reducing drug expenditures, hospital admissions, length of hospital stay, and emergency department visits.”

     

     

    What is Medication Therapy Management (MTM)?

    • A face-to-face consultation with a specially trained Pharmacist, initiated by a change in medication, non-adherence, or ineffective medication therapy
    • Pharmacist reconciles medications to both physician order and diagnosis
    • A medication review of prescription drugs and over-the-counter medications
    • Continuous medication monitoring by the Pharmacist, always checking for indication, effectiveness, and safety
    • Client education to ensure medications are taken properly
    • Pharmacist communication and follow-up with the physician

    Aberdeen Health and Rehab has partnered with Recover Health to provide those that leave our community and go back to their home with Medication Therapy Management (MTM). What makes this program unique is its client centered, face-to-face approach. While most MTM programs are delivered via telephone or simply a chart review, our Pharmacist provides face-to-face MTM services in the client’s home environment. By engaging face-to-face, the Pharmacist will provide a more comprehensive service resulting in improved clinical outcomes for the client. When MTM is done in combination with our healthcare partners, we provide truly integrated healthcare.

    Outpatient therapy is a form of therapeutic treatment offered to individuals who do not need to be in a skilled nursing setting on a continual basis. A number of therapies can be offered on an outpatient basis including occupational, speech, physical, and post-surgical care. Many patients prefer outpatient therapy because it allows them to receive necessary medical care while staying at home. It also allows patients to live a relatively normal life while simply setting aside time to attend therapy sessions.

    If you suffer from any of these conditions, you could benefit from outpatient therapy:

    • Back pain
    • Joint stiffness or pain
    • Lack of blood flow
    • Stroke
    • Muscle weakness or spasms
    • Arthritis
    • Lack of endurance or range of motion
    • Edema
    • Falls
    • Neuropathy
    • Shingles (Herpes Zoster)
