Champion aging (and living) in place — Help patients stay in the home and community they love for as long as it's safe and possible, adapting support as cognitive or physical needs change over time. Navigate resources — Connect patients and families to community resources — respite care, adult day programs, home health, support groups, legal and financial planning, and more -and follow through to make sure they actually get connected. Stay connected — Check in regularly with patients and caregivers by phone, video, or in person, adjusting the frequency and focus of support as their needs change. Respond with care — Be a calm, steady presence when a family is navigating a crisis, safety concern, or difficult transition, and know when to bring in additional support. Collaborate — Work with the interdisciplinary team and community partners to make sure everyone involved in a patient's care is on the same page. Support and Education- Facilitated education classes and support groups Document your work — Keep clear, timely records of the support you provide using our electronic health record system.
