LifeCare Hospital Dallas Providing Assistance to Seniors
This past Thursday, we met with the professional staff at LifeCare Hospital of Dallas, a Long term Acute Care Center serving our elderly and seniors throughout North Texas including: Dallas, TX, Plano, TX, Richardson, TX, Addison, TX, Allen, TX, and Frisco, TX. LifeCare Hospital Dallas has 60 beds with 200 staff, serving complex patients with the need for acute care over an extended period of time. They are unique since they see patients with a very high acuity, for an average of 25 days. About 60% of the patients are able to go home and continue healing in the comforts of home. Approved in Home Care works with patients at home in the recovery process to continue the healing at home by making meals, medication reminders, light housekeeping, running errands, and companionship. We help the patient both physically and mentally, while relieving stress as the patient recovers after a hospital stay.
We also work with Kim Ramirez, the marketer from Stonemere Rehabilitation, a skilled nursing facility, who joined us for the lunch and learn event at LifeCare Hospital. Present at the lunch was the Director of Case Management, one other case manager, the Director of Therapy, a Nurse Practitioner and various other staff members. We discussed readmission rates and what Approved Home Care does as a private duty in-home care company to achieve successful outcomes and keep our patients from being re-admitted back into the hospital. They were surprised since no other In Home Care agency in Dallas had ever discussed tracking readmissions. Hospital readmissions tracking is very important to LifeCare Hospital and their patients since quality standards are calculated by the readmission numbers in the current healthcare industry.
We served Cowboy Chicken with baked potato casserole, spicy beans, rolls, iced tea and lemonade, with mini-cupcakes for dessert. The entire staff was enjoyable and very accommodating and insisted we eat with them. You will find the staff at LifeCare Hospital in Dallas to be very warm, friendly and inviting if you find yourself in need of a long term acute care center in Dallas, TX.
With our unique services, our experienced caregivers are trained in packing up the patient room with our dual discharge program we offer. We can drive the patient home from the hospital, unpack the bags, and set up the home with fresh food, clean laundry, and pick up medications. Our customized services relieves stress and gives time for family members to understand and embrace the new reality of healing of a loved one after a long hospital stay.
Our caregivers and agency is licensed, insured, and bonded for your peace of mind. Our caregivers are on our payroll so you have no worries about having a caregiver in your home. We also require our caregivers to complete ongoing monthly training on the latest state of the art in home care techniques to ensure we are providing the best of quality care.

We also process long term care insurance with insurance companies such as Genworth, CNA, Mutual of Omaha, Thrivent, Transamerica, Allianz, to name a few. We are experts at starting up your long term care private insurance claims and can hold your hand thru this process as you ask for Dr. recommendations to get in home care services started.
