What we do is we start as a therapy team, we take a look at people who are at risk for falls, people who have maybe had an incident with or without injury, and we start to evaluate them from a more traditional rehab sense. It’s very simple and stands for: screen, evaluate, and treat.
At Synchrony, we have a falls program that we can either bring and implement entirely or we can adapt and adjust with you as an addition to your program. If we look at an example program, in most communities providers have a falls program. This is where integration really starts to shine and where we become more differentiated. Then as we go further on the continuum, we start talking about the second part of your question with clinical programming. It’s not a skilled program, it’s more of a personal trainer-type program. We also use our therapy team for SynchronyONE, which is individualized programming similar to having a personal trainer. We have all different kinds of programming to address those needs.įor individuals who maybe want to work on one particular aspect of fitness, we have specialists in those areas.
We have all spectrums, whether it’s more traditional yoga or tai chi. We have BoxingFIT, we have AquaFIT for our communities that have pools. There’s some meditative programming, and there is some cardiovascular, such as cardio drumming. We have SynchronyFIT classes, and wellness classes that really do address all the dimensions of wellness. As we’re looking at wellness, in Synchrony Rehab we have a whole division for wellness programming – our SynchronyFIT division. SHN: How does Synchrony provide wellness solutions to senior living operators through integration and care? Could you outline some of that collaborative clinical programming, because I think that’s a really important part of what you do and explain that?īarrett: Wellness is obviously a focus of everyone these days. Whether they’re moving from independent living to assisted living, to memory care, to a skilled nursing facility, we’re able to be with them every step of the way and with the operators as well. We’re able to offer rehab and pharmacy and lab across all continuums of care.Īs the residents move through the continuum of care, we’re there along the journey with them. It’s going to be much easier and more cost-effective as an operator to have one partner for multiple services. Julia Barrett: I think it’s an important piece to start talking about because as we start to change the model for healthcare in terms of moving more towards value-based care models, it’s going to be important that you have integrated solutions. Julia, why are integrated solutions a buzzword right now in senior living and how does that play into the changing face of healthcare? Through their integrative collaborative care programs and approach, the company’s pharmacy, rehab, wellness, and lab services work in perfect synchrony to help providers drive extraordinary outcomes.
That’s where Synergy Through Synchrony comes in. In a post-COVID world, we have greater demand than ever to ensure high-quality resident-centered care, keep costs low, and reduce the burden on staff while building a reputation as incredible caregivers and providers.
