Designed to streamline the provision of restorative nursing and activities-based exercise programs; the ELDERS Care Program allows facilities to capture more restorative nursing reimbursement by providing safe, effective and efficient programs to more of the resident population with existing staff.
Impossible you say?...We’ve normally seen a program participation rate around 70% of a facility population. The ELDERS Care program will accommodate a large number of residents leaving time to for the 1:1 type scenarios with all of it being organized to capture reimbursement!
Whether you are a small rural facility, a large metro facility, or a continuum of care campus, we can help you implement a systematic, outcome-based exercise physiology program that bridges the gap between formal Therapy and Nursing. We can do it without adding staff and with minimal equipment.
Although there is a comprehensive program manual with forms, templates, and program philosophies the ELDERS Care program isn’t just another 3-ring binder. The ELDERS Care program includes on-site evaluations, staff training, system implementation, resident assessments and reassessments that create outcomes used individually in the care plan as well as facility or group outcomes that help you quantify the effectiveness of the program. The positive physiologic changes encourage more participation and empower the residents and staff as well as serve the facility for marketing, grant requests and changing the traditional public perception of the skilled nursing facility.
PhysioLogic’s Board-Certified Exercise Physiologists (EPC) provide resident assessments in conjunction with your care conference/MDS schedule. Our EPCs are trained to assist Nursing staff with the interpretation of the physiological outcomes for inclusion and support of the care plan goal. Facility Therapists have voiced support the ELDERS Care program as it provides a standard day-to-day exercise program they can discharge residents to as the ‘functional maintenance program’ and is creating more referrals for significant improvements instead of the normal significant decline! In specific needs cases, the EPC will work with your interdisciplinary team to provide any assistance or input that is appropriate and within their scope of practice.
PhysioLogic is dedicated to helping you help your residents. We know that decline and weakness are preventable and reversible. We know that illness and injury will rob people of their ability to do stimulating exercise which allows inevitable physical decline, but they still have potential to be or stay stronger and more independent for longer periods of time. Of course it is up to each individual if they chose to participate, but as a facility you must provide the opportunity. Your system needs to accommodate potentially everyone. For over 60 years, you’ve been doing everything you can with the best intentions and it is honorable. Now there is a new way, a new understanding, and new expertise. Maintained or improved Strength, Flexibility, Endurance, and Balance for older adults are our goals, using Exercise Physiology to attain them is our ability. Doing this all with a win-win budget is what PhysioLogic Human Performance Systems would be honored to work with you to do.
