Proactive Management of Chronic Conditions for Healthier, Happier Residents
Residents of assisted living facilities want to live in place for as long as possible, and community operators want this too. Maintaining stable occupancy levels is essential for the financial stability of assisted living communities. When residents live in place longer, the community experiences reduced turnover and more steady revenue. One way to ensure that residents remain healthier, happier and living in place longer is the proactive management of chronic conditions through remote patient monitoring (RPM).
There are many benefits of remote patient monitoring for the assisted living population and AL operators:
Individualized care
Higher resident satisfaction
Improved clinical outcomes
Residents remain in place longer
Reduced hospital admissions
Facility differentiation
A data-backed way to prove value to stakeholders
According to the National Council on Aging, the 10 most common chronic conditions for adults aged 65+ are hypertension, high cholesterol, coronary heart disease, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, heart failure, depression, dementia and COPD.1 Giving assisted living residents an fun and easy way to help manage these conditions can positively impact their lives and keep them from needing a higher level of care.
