Our goals at VCADHC are to prevent the expensive costs associated with recurrent hospital and emergency room visits, as well as entrance into an skilled nursing facility or psychiatric hospital. Our organization utilizes a person-centered medical model, which includes services such as:
- Complete nursing staff (RN, LVN, CNAs) that can assist with blood sugar/pressure checks, personal care, and medication monitoring. They are available to be an advocate between the participant and the primary care physician. (PCP)
- Speech, Occupational, and Physical Therapy
- Full social services staff(MSW, LCSW) available to assist the participant with accessing resources, making appointments, and for any psychosocial needs the participant may have.
- Dietary counseling and diabetes education.
The cost of our program is a flat fee that is billed through Gold Coast Managed Care, Kaiser Permanente, and/or Long-Term Health Insurance.
Our nursing department communicates with each participants’ PCP in order to create a treatment plan to minimize the risk of hospital readmission.
