Providing the Best Care Even After You Leave the Hospital
Sometimes when an older patient leaves the hospital, they still require medical care, just not in a hospital setting. Summa Health’s Senior Health team works closely with many area nursing homes, skilled nursing units and assisted living facilities through our Post-Acute Care Division to provide transitional care for these patients. Many of our specially trained geriatricians and nurse practitioners collaborate with select facilities to take a team-based approach to medical and functional needs to help patients transition home or to the appropriate level of care. Our goal is to provide the best care even after you have left the hospital.Palliative Consult Services
Palliative consult services also are available at many of these area facilities. Senior Health experts work collaboratively with the palliative care team to offer a holistic care model focused on giving patients relief from the symptoms, pain and stress of a serious illness—whatever the diagnosis—while working to improve the quality of life for both the patient and the family.
