Referring a Patient to Assisted Living
The knowledge you have of your patient’s health and well-being is foundational when it comes time to consider senior living options. We want to help you in providing the assurance and understanding they need to make an informed decision.
Brookdale Assisted Living:
An Extension of Care
Health is inextricably tied to how patients live. Brookdale's whole-person approach to care is designed to help support seniors with proactive clinical care and everyday wellness while helping to reduce the risk of serious illness. We provide a healthy living environment, transportation,* nutritious food and access to medical care, all while helping residents achieve well-being through person-centered engagement.
Your patients can benefit from customized service plans that help inform partnerships with broader care teams and a population health model designed to help them meet goals, maintain independence and avoid unnecessary hospital stays.
Our associates can also help with the following:
Medication management
Incontinence management
Coordination of lab and diagnostic tests
Arrangement of rehabilitation therapy services
Respite stays
Nutritious meals and many special dietary needs
Thickened liquids, mechanical soft and pureed diet
Daily recreational and social opportunities
Transportation to/from appointments*
In addition, our assisted living communities help provide homelike accommodations and a vibrant and social environment where your patients can meet other individuals in the same stage of life.
*Availability varies by community
Meaningful Connections and Engagement
Isolation is one of the most critical issues senior living can help address. Isolated seniors have an increased risk of developing or exacerbating existing serious health problems, including heart disease and stroke. Your patients can benefit from Brookdale's approach, in which we prioritize friendships first and programs second.
Brookdale offers opportunities for residents to enjoy close and lasting relationships enhanced by four avenues of engagement. Associates can introduce residents with like-minded interests to help foster feelings of belonging and kinship. We also support one-on-one connections with the idea that we are more likely to connect with someone in smaller moments rather than in larger group settings.
Let's work together to find their next home.
