Transitioning Your Senior's goal is to perform assessments, provide hands-on training, and education for changes to allow the client to "age in place" as long as possible. 

All of our staff have an expertise in physical or occupational therapy specific to working with patients getting ready to return home. This provides a unique skillset  and understanding  of how your client will move in their home . Our staff  perform a 240 point assessment to thoroughly cover every area of the home and provide a written evaluation with a prioritized list of recommendations. In this assessment , we understand most will be using an assistive device during their recovery, and we consider the impact of disease progression in the home modification including proper placement and height of rails  and grab bars and proper furniture placement.

Put together, this provides your clients the additional sense of safety and security that their home  is ready for their return  - giving  you an advantage over other companies not using services of experienced professionals.  

Insurance companies ensure hospital and rehabilitation length of stays are short. Hospitals and rehabilitation facilities only provide caregiver training during work hours - if at all. These hours are usually not possible due to time restraints on the caregiver. This means your clients are returning home unprepared and requiring more assistance than in years past.  Our staff is not only experienced and educated in the best care for your client, but also in training the care giver and we can work around your client's availability

Our extensive experience in physical and occupational therapy has taught  us the best way to teach caregivers to handle situations with the least risk.  Caregiver training includes verbal and hands-on instructions so they are able to assist your client in their Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), including transfers, walking, dressing, personal hygiene,  etc. 

It is imperative that the caregivers from home care and home healthcare companies understand surgical precautions, how to don/doff braces,  how to properly use durable medical equipment, and how to guide the client to perform their ADL's to increase their functional mobility.  Having a professional with expertise in the area of transfer training,  ADL's, and using the appropriate equipment provides your company the following benefits:

• Decrease  risk of falls

• Decrease in caregiver injury

• Decrease caregiver time-off /call offs and  turnover

• Decrease client injury

• Decrease client's rehospitalization

• Improve client and caregiver's health and outlook

• Increase client and caregiver's confidence and mental health

• Increase client's relationship with your company

We provide training at your client's convenience in your company's office and/or in the client's home.   We can also work with you to schedule training your new staff members during their orientation, and we can provide you topic specific unique and useful videos for various types of transfer training available for your staff to use as a reference guide.

All of the above leads to a more positive/pleasant experience with better reviews and more clients through word-of-mouth.

When your client is leaving the facility to go home, they, and their caregiver, are provided very little translated information and all of it in a short time. Leaving your client and their caregiver at a loss of what to do. 

We provide education about equipment, managing your loved one's new diagnosis, and troubleshooting probable scenarios.  Many times due to declining health, a client cannot remain safely in their own home but the caregiver needs help in making that decision and to explain it to your client. Our team has extensive knowledge regarding the different  levels of care  available and can provide education to client and family regarding various types of senior living available.  When assisting  a client in  choosing an alternative living environment, we need to be mindful of a client's chronic condition and what is best for the long term. For example: A client with Parkinson's should not be in a living environment that requires them to use an elevator. As strange as this sounds, as the disease progresses, clients with Parkinson's worry about the elevator doors and stepping over the threshold on the elevator. The result is that it forces the client to begin using a wheelchair earlier which decreases their functional mobility faster than if their room were on the first floor.

Our  experience and understanding of the impact of decisions is what makes the difference of hiring Transitioning Your Senior.
