COURT-APPOINTED GUARDIANS PLAY A VITAL ROLE IN MEETING THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY, PARTICULARLY WHEN IT COMES TO INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE UNABLE TO MAKE DECISIONS FOR THEMSELVES DUE TO INCAPACITATION OR OTHER FACTORS.

AFTER THE LAUNCH WAS IMPAIRED BY THE PANDEMIC, THE RE-CASTED PATIENT ADVOCACY PROGRAM BLOSSOMED IN EARLY 2023 AND SINCE THEN HAS BECOME PART OF THE HEALTH CARE AND COMMUNITY SERVICE LANDSCAPE. SERVING SENIORS, INC. PATIENT ADVOCATES SUPPORT CLIENTS AGED 60 AND OLDER DURING THEIR TRANSITION FROM A HOSPITAL OR HEALTHCARE FACILITY. DUE TO THE COMPLEXITIES OF OUR HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEM, THE TIME DEDICATED TO PLANNING A SMOOTH AND SEAMLESS TRANSITION MAY BE LIMITED. A SERVING SENIORS PATIENT ADVOCATE IS FOCUSED EXCLUSIVELY ON MEETING THE NEEDS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE PATIENT. THE PRIMARY FOCUS IS TO ASSIST THEM IN NAVIGATING THE CHALLENGES OF DECISION-MAKING RELATED TO THEIR TRANSITION FROM THE HOSPITAL SYSTEM, WHILE FOCUSING ON A POSITIVE PATIENT OUTCOME THAT REDUCES RE-ADMISSION.
