LifeCare Hospital Plano, TX Offers Senior Care Dual Discharge with Approved In Home Care

We recently conducted a lunch and learn at LifeCare Hospital in Plano, TX located at 6800 Preston Road, Plano, TX at Tennyson Parkway and Preston Road, just north of Dallas, TX.  LifeCare Hospital provides acute senior care for patients who need a high level of care over an extended period of time.  Life Care Hospital of Plano serves senior and elderly patients from Plano, Richardson, TX, Frisco, TX, Allen, TX, Addison, TX, Murphy, TX, Fairview, TX, and The Colony, TX, and into Dallas, TX with senior and elderly care.

We enjoyed talking with the professional staff about Approved In Home Care of Plano, TX and our senior care program which reduces readmissions by dual discharging our elder care services with home health at Lifecare Hospital of Plano, an LTAC located in north Plano. We met with 4 case managers including the Director of case management, Kim Ramirez, the Marketer with Stonemere Rehabilitation in Frisco, TX and Carla Parrish with Reliant Home Health of Allen, TX all were a part of this lunch and learn. Shrimp and steak kabobs from Zoe’s Kitchen were served with a delicious fresh salad.

In Plano, LifeCare Hospital located close to I-75 and the North Dallas Tollway, is licensed for 66 beds and has 150 Physicians caring for seniors who need extended hospital care.  LifeCare specializes in medically complex patients and offers various therapy programs for elderly patients with swallowing disorders, traumatic brain injury, chronic wounds, sores, and has highly qualified respiratory therapist on staff to help elderly patients recover before moving back home.

Approved In Home Care customizes a dual discharge program for seniors and the elderly who at discharge from the hospital need both in home care and home health upon arriving back at home.  Our experienced caregivers are Nurse Aids, or CNA’s and can continue helping the senior patient at home recovering after a fall, or accident.  Our highly trained and qualified caregivers can help with bathing, dressing, grooming, medication reminders, healthy meal preparation, laundry, making beds, light housekeeping, taking to Dr appointments, and incontinence care. Due to our hands on care once a senior is back at home, our patients have a low readmission rate back into the hospital, which allows the elderly patient to heal in the comforts of home with family.

Approved in Home Care is licensed thru DADS, the Department of Aging and Disability Services, serving seniors and the elderly in 5 counties in North Texas, including, Collin, Dallas, Denton, Rockwall, and Grayson counties.  We perform extensive background checks on our caregivers, including criminal checks, and employee reference checks, complete drug testing for cause, and offer state of the art ongoing care giving training to ensure your peace of mind to ensure quality senior care.
