In practice: someone who needs help with secure, small-home environment with 6 residents maximum and specially trained caregivers in dementia and alzheimer's care, and whose family wants a nurse — not a rotating aide roster — making the calls. It also covers structured daily routine to reduce anxiety and confusion. The tour from Drexel Hill Shopping Center takes about 5 minutes.
Hospitals discharge to a plan, not to a building. What we send back to Delaware County Memorial Hospital (5 min) for a memory care facility resident is a documented medication schedule, a fall-risk assessment and a named nurse — which is why Delaware County case managers use us when a family needs placement the same week.
