As people get older, they tend to develop more health issues. For example, diabetes is very common among seniors, as are heart problems. Our team at Vienna Village Assisted Living understands these conditions require ongoing monitoring and attention, so we provide clinical support to the seniors in our community. In this article, we will explain more about what our clinical support services include.
- Condition Monitoring – Our clinical support team helps track and monitor conditions which require it. For example, if you have diabetes, our staff will help you measure and track your blood sugar levels, or if you have an issue with your blood pressure, we will regularly measure that and monitor it for you.
- Medication Management – Another service included under our clinical support umbrella is medication management. If you take medication for any condition (and most seniors do), then our staff will help you stay on top of your medication schedule. We can portion out the right dosages and administer your medication at the proper times to ensure you remain on track.
- Appointment Transportation – Our clinical support team is there to provide assistance in managing chronic issues, but we are not doctors, and therefore can’t diagnose any condition or prescribe any new medication. For that kind of care, you will need to go to your own doctors and specialists, and our team can assist with that by transporting you to and from those appointments. If your medical providers prescribe any new treatments, our clinical support staff will incorporate those into your plan.
