Proactive Care Management

Restorative therapy programs are an integral element in CareMeridian's philosophy. Each patient's program is specifically developed by the multidisciplinary care team to assure a smooth transition from the care plan established prior to his or her admission to a CareMeridian facility. The new care plan continues to provide the opportunity for progress and the attainment of optimal clinical outcomes. In addition, should improvements in an individual's condition allow for further progress, our rehabilitation team will incorporate those gains in future program planning.

Every patient, no matter what their cognitive condition, is dressed every day and is included in the facility's activities -from therapeutic exercises to recreational programs such as videos or baking. At CareMeridian, we call this "proactive care management." Instead of waiting for patients to emerge from coma, or waiting for cognitive skills to improve, we select therapies to help them progress. Everyday events such as watching movies or listening to music can serve as cognitive triggers. This is why it is imperative that each patient is included in the day's activities: No one is ever left in bed.
