Deliver Quality Care

Providing quality care - managing the changes

The Long Term Care provider's environment is more challenging than ever:

• Residents' Needs Have Increased. Today's LTC population is older and requires increased assistance with daily living.
• Staffing Challenges Have Continued. LTC facilities often have difficulty filling key nursing positions and overall staff turnover rates remain high.
• Financial Pressures Have Intensified. Increased litigation costs and rising insurance rates have created uncertain financial conditions. LTC providers are facing increasing pressures to keep wages attractive, while reimbursement debates continue.
• Consumer Awareness Has Increased. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services allows consumers to make more informed decisions when choosing a facility.

With the changing face of the LTC industry, it's time to change the way you look at delivering quality care. It's time to rely on a skin care program that understands the operational, financial and regulatory issues you face on a daily basis.

A simpler way to deliver quality care

Diagnosis

• Today's LTC population is older and requires increasing levels of care; therefore, caring for elderly skin is a top priority.
• Elderly skin is thinner and less elastic requiring greater care to avoid skin irritations, bruising and tearing.
• Episodes of incontinence can lead to skin irritations, infections and pressure ulcers.

With increased resident care also comes an increased need for proper hand hygiene.

• Increased "resident load" can result in lower compliance with recommended hand hygiene practices.
