<v ->My name is Grady Goodwin,</v>

3
00:00:02.490 --> 00:00:04.290
I am a board certified internist,

4
00:00:04.290 --> 00:00:06.663
and I've been in practice since 2006.

5
00:00:07.800 --> 00:00:10.320
Two main benefits of having patients

6
00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:13.410
who may be struggling at home move into a senior community,

7
00:00:13.410 --> 00:00:15.873
would be compliance and information.

8
00:00:16.920 --> 00:00:20.100
Compliance issues really, are much easier to manage

9
00:00:20.100 --> 00:00:22.170
in a senior community where you have staff

10
00:00:22.170 --> 00:00:24.330
overseeing medication administration

11
00:00:24.330 --> 00:00:25.800
and other treatment measures

12
00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:27.960
that a provider may want to implement.

13
00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:31.050
Caring for seniors in a senior community is much different

14
00:00:31.050 --> 00:00:32.520
than caring for them at home.

15
00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:35.130
The staff we partner with give us a lot of great information

16
00:00:35.130 --> 00:00:37.380
that we would not get otherwise.

17
00:00:37.380 --> 00:00:39.870
My job as a primary care provider

18
00:00:39.870 --> 00:00:41.940
is to sort of know everything

19
00:00:41.940 --> 00:00:44.100
that's going on with my patients,

20
00:00:44.100 --> 00:00:46.590
and I sense that Brookdale feels the same way.

21
00:00:46.590 --> 00:00:48.750
I know I can call the health and wellness director

22
00:00:48.750 --> 00:00:51.240
and just ask, what's new with Mrs. Smith,

23
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:52.840
and I'm gonna get a comprehensive answer.
