As we all know, the classic rhyme of Humpty Dumpty and his unfortunate fall reminds us of the devastating consequences a fall or other injuries can have at your adult foster care community. Injuries to staff, resulting in short staffing or harm to your resident possibly resulting in an open bed. 

What if I told you that with the right approach, we could reduce hospitalizations, injuries, and discharge from your AFC licensed home from occurring in the first place? It’s worth considering the benefits of protecting your staff, having residents away from the residential assisted living facility for days that cannot be billed, and reducing the possibility of discharge of the resident from the AFC Home.

Solutions without having to leave the AFC

Pure Home Healthcare, a 5-star Medicare-rated company, provides care up to 60 days of service to prevent falls, prevent reoccurrence and treat other conditions. In addition, Fox Rehab, helps residents “Be Stronger, Live Better, Longer” after a resident has had 40 days of skilled nursing. Both specialize in PT, OT, and Speech Therapy, such as swallowing and eating to prevent choking and more. They can help.

Imagine a world where Humpty Dumpty could have undergone interventions to enhance his balance and strength, reducing the risk of his fall in the first place at the senior living facility or group homes for disabled adults. Like Humpty Dumpty, many residents could benefit from tailored programs that focus on the root causes. Addressing causes head-on can prevent hospitalizations and protect your staff from injury.

Worried about transportation? The resident doesn’t need to leave the home. Both Pure Home Healthcare and Fox Rehab will come to the AFC to provide the necessary services.
