Elder-centered Care Print E-mail

It’s the deep bond—the special relationship—between elders and caregivers that person-centered culture change instills. It elevates quality of care and significantly improves clinical outcomes.

Sixty-four percent of Trinity Senior Living Communities are in the top quartile for clinical outcomes. We think this makes us experts in quality improvement. We can help you move your scores and outcomes in the right direction.

With a thoroughly engaged clinical team energized by passion and commitment, nursing performance reaches a higher level. And the driving force behind all of this never wavers. It’s all about making a difference in an elder’s life.

Resident-centered quality programs and developing policies and procedures that support choice are two examples of how culture change is transforming day-to-day life in senior living communities.  Our focus on PPS management allows residents to reach their highest level of function while controlling costs and maximizing revenues.

Moving away from regimented wake-up schedules and allowing elders to awaken on their own, for instance, requires significant adjustments to medication routines. Rather than disturb elders throughout the night or when they’re napping, caregivers are working closely with physicians and pharmacists to revise prescriptions, dosages and timeframes in order to accommodate elders’ preferences for medication administration.

End-of-life protocols are another area where person-centered care is leading to change. In some cases, elders who receive hospice services prior to relocating to a culture change community make a remarkable comeback, thrive as a result of increased socialization, better nutrition and closer relationships with caregivers, and no longer qualify for hospice.

And when elders do pass away, they are acknowledged by the entire community, often through formal ceremonies. This recognition by elders and associates alike commemorates the memory of a friend with the utmost dignity and respect.

Trinity Senior Living Communities collaborates with clinical teams to plan for change, respond to new expectations and maximize outcomes. We honor the sacredness of every soul through uncompromising standards and services.
