In Episode 2 of #TheSeniorSpotlight, we explore the complexities of senior healthcare with insights from Dr. Brian Ferris and Dr. Alex De Moraes. We address the geographical challenges faced by seniors transitioning to care facilities farther from their medical clinic, as well as those of seniors living in remote areas needing to travel to larger medical centers for care.Our discussion emphasizes the importance of seamless care transitions and effective communication among healthcare providers. We highlight the need for strong advocacy to prevent readmissions and ensure safe discharges. Often, families feel disempowered when their senior is discharged from emergency care and they are unequipped to care for them. Expert assistance can significantly increase the chances of a loved one returning home rather than moving to a nursing facility.The episode also spotlights the pivotal role of organizations like Concierge Care Advisors in bridging care gaps. CCA offers comprehensive support and advocacy extending beyond immediate medical needs, promoting continuous and holistic care for seniors. This includes addressing senior’s financial, social, medical, geographical, and spiritual needs. Concierge Care Advisors not only advocates for patients in the hospital, but also provides free caregiver resources and senior referral and transitional services to families at no cost. The episode concludes with details about how to contact Concierge Care Advisors for assistance.
