Family Health West's social
model of care includes a
Functional Maintenance Concept
of Care. We promote the conviction that
Eldercare is much more than just custodial
care. We use a functional maintenance concept of care which means
we are committed to keeping each of our residents functioning at their
highest level possible. Functional maintenance means providing
care that assists the resident to reverse declines in the areas of daily
self-care activities if possible, and to improve or maintain their very
Highest Level of Functioning and Independence.
At Family Health West, functional declines are
addressed through special Therapies and
Restorative Nursing Programs that are designed to stem declines and
promote Quality of Life. Family Health West uses a
Functional Maintenance Conce pt of Care throughout its
Continuum of Care that combines therapies
and nursing into tailored programs for the
individual - challenging and motivating the patient to maintain and
enhance cognitive and motor skills - thus promoting the Highest Levels
of Self-Sufficiency, Self-Worth, Dignity and Self-Esteem, both
Socially and Physically. The results that have been achieved are
in some cases dramatic, and enable many residents to remain in their
present setting or progress from Extended Care / Nursing Home to
our less restrictive Assisted Living arrangement -
thus "aging them in place." The Social Concept is
based on the positives, focusing on wellness, enhancing the environment
to assist each resident to maintain or improve if possible, and to
prevent unnecessary declines. Our programs are designed to
individually enhance the "Quality of Life" of each resident.
Our Restorative Nursing and Functional Maintenance Programs have proven
to be very successful. Our caregivers understand that each of our
residents / patients is unique. We provide the personal attention
necessary to assure each individual's well-being. |
