Senior Care Assessments & Planning

The quality, cost, and effectiveness of the services provided to the residents in a care facility or members of a religious community are of paramount importance. A senior care assessment furthers leadership’s understanding of the existing operations and key healthcare issues and outlines strategies to address those challenges. At the end of the assessment, you will have a clear understanding of the services currently being provided, associated costs of those services, and the projected future healthcare needs of residents and/or members.

A senior care assessment may include:

• Interviews with leadership, administration, key personnel, members and/or residents.
• Assessment of individuals’ health status as well as current and future facility/living needs.
• Assessment of the quality of care and the overall effectiveness of services currently provided.
• Review of current medical records, medication administration, protocols and procedures, financial information, and documentation for Medicare, Medicaid, insurance, and other ancillary income sources.
• Analysis of costs relative to industry best practices in caring for the elderly.
• Research into alternative healthcare programs and services.
• Creation of healthcare policies and procedures and recommendations for maintaining records and documentation.
• Mentoring in efficient and effective office management processes and procedures.
• Recommendations for improvements and enhancements to the operations of the organization.
