Our Approach
We recognize that the populations in long-term care, assisted living and rehabilitation facilities consist of medically complex patients that require special skills to address the emotional and behavioral needs of each individual.
Nursing facilities are also serving a patient population that include younger clients and individuals with more severe psychiatric symptoms and diagnoses.
We view the facility as not only our client, but as our partner in the care of each individual patient.
We are experts in providing behavioral health services in a comprehensive, caring and cost-effective manner.
Our comprehensive service model also provides the facility support for survey preparedness and regulatory compliance. Our clinicians work with the facility to create a plan to reduce the usage of psychotropic medications while at the same time improving the patient’s well-being.
Our clinicians assess patient’s medications for any possible drug interactions that may be negatively affecting the patient’s health.
