Reimagining Wellness: At Charles E. Smith Life Communities The Age-Old House Calls Are An Innovative Approach To Healthcare

ROCKVILLE, Md. -- Charles E. Smith Life Communities (CESLC) announced the recent promotion of Dr. Elisa Gil-Pires to executive vice president, medical affairs/chief medical officer and medical director of Charles E. Smith Life Communities. Dr. Gil-Pires leads a team of world-class doctors who still make house calls.

CESLC is one of the few senior living communities offering extensive medical care conveniently on their campus. Gil-Pires leads a team of five full-time internal medicine physicians who are employed by CESLC and specialize in treating older adults, along with a full team of medical consultants, including a psychiatrist, a physiatrist, a dentist, an optometrist, an audiologist and a dermatologist.

For Gil-Pires, providing such a comprehensive health and wellness care program for CESLC residents should be the standard instead of the exception. "At Charles E. Smith Life Communities, our medical practice focuses on treating the whole person, not just a set of diagnoses. We take the time to learn about the patient and their choices for the plan of care," she said.

Dr. Gil-Pires and her team are wholly committed to delivering top medical care for seniors. The on-campus Hebrew Home of Greater Washington has a five-star overall quality rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The Hirsh Health Center, a primary senior care medical practice, is open to the public and, unlike many medical practices, is still welcoming Medicare patients and making house calls to those living on campus.

"The approach we take to care at CESLC reflects my vision of person-centered care," said Dr. Gil-Pires. "I walk into a patient's apartment and see black and white photos - I see their weddings, families and careers. Their story unfolds through their photographs. Seeing people as people, regardless of their age, is central to our mission and so important to empowering our residents."

"What makes us unique on the CESLC campus is that I have a doctor managing each location - short-term rehabilitation, long-term care, outpatient, assisted living and memory care assisted living and our apartment residences. And there is a doctor on-premises six days a week," she said. "No senior living campus in the DC Metro area offers this level of medical services, and our doctors still make house calls. House calls are invaluable to our residents, especially those in memory care who struggle with going out to see community doctors."

Both residential and health services are spread across the 38-acre campus in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, DC. Skilled nursing care is through their Wasserman and Smith-Kogod Residences, with the Slavin Post-Acute Care Center at the Hebrew Home of Greater Washington; independent living at Revitz House and Ring House; assisted living at Landow House; memory care at Cohen-Rosen House and geriatric primary care at Hirsh Health Center. Also headquartered on their campus is SmithLife Home Care.

Dr. Gil-Pires' interest in helping seniors started when she was 15, growing up in Connecticut, attending high school next door to a nursing home. As part of her National Honor Society service project, she volunteered in the recreation department at that nursing home. And one year later, they offered her a summer job. "I developed my passion for making a difference in the lives of seniors, and I wanted to pursue a career that would help me support that dream."

In her present role, Gil-Pires oversees all clinical and administrative aspects of the senior living community's medical services. She also serves as site director for the National Institutes of Health Hospice and Palliative Medicine Fellowship program at CESLC, as well as site director for the Conway School of Nursing advanced nurse program at the Catholic University of America.

Board-certified in internal medicine, geriatric medicine and hospice and palliative care, Gil-Pires earned her medical degree from St. George's University School of Medicine and completed her residency at the University of Maryland Medical System in Baltimore. Before joining CESLC, she served as chief of geriatrics and palliative care at Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center in Hartford, CT.

U.S. News & World Report Names Hebrew Home of Greater Washington on the Charles E. Smith Life Communities Campus the Best in Maryland

ROCKVILLE, Md. -- Charles E. Smith Life Communities (CESLC) is proud to announce that their skilled nursing health center, the Hebrew Home of Greater Washington, has been recognized as the Best Nursing Home in Maryland for 2024 by U.S. News & World Report. This is the fifth consecutive year that the Hebrew Home has been recognized by U.S. News & World Report.

Since 2009, U.S. News' annual Best Nursing Homes ratings have assisted consumers in need of either short-term rehabilitation or long-term care for themselves or a family member.

The Hebrew Home of Greater Washington earned its U.S. News Best Nursing Home status by achieving a rating of "High Performing," the highest possible rating, for Long-Term Care. U.S. News gives the designation of Best Nursing Home only to those that satisfy U.S. News' assessment of consistent performance in quality measures.

"We are honored to be recognized and I applaud all associates at CESLC for their tireless dedication to delivering on our care promise. In addition to CESLC's numerous care providers, our long-term care team also includes a full-time medical director along with five full-time physicians dedicated to delivering award-winning quality and person-centered care and promoting the dignity of others," said Brenda Rice, vice president of operations at CESLC.

For the 2024 edition, U.S. News rated more than 15,000 nursing homes on patient and resident outcomes, such as infection rates; staffing levels; potentially inappropriate reliance on antipsychotic drugs; health inspection results and other indicators of quality.

"U.S. News' Best Nursing Homes ratings give patients, senior residents, their families and caregivers an objective assessment of quality, to help them choose the facility that best fits their individual needs," said Ben Harder, chief of health analysis and managing editor at U.S. News. "Nursing homes that have earned the recognition of U.S. News have a track record of achieving better outcomes for patients and residents, and maximizing the amount of care they receive from nurses and other staff."

To calculate the Best Nursing Homes ratings, U.S. News evaluated each nursing home's performance using a variety of quality measures obtained from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). The U.S. News methodology factors data such as resident care, safety and outcomes. Both short- and long-term ratings include data on nurse staffing, use of antipsychotic drugs and success in preventing ER and hospital visits. The long-term care rating also includes measures of whether a home changed ownership and how well they were staffed on weekends.

U.S. News and World Report recognized the Hebrew Home of Greater Washington in the categories of Best Nursing Home for both short-term rehabilitation and long-term care for 2022-2023 and 2020-2021, and for short-term care additionally in 2021-2022 and 2019-2020.

LTC News Introduces New Comprehensive National Long-Term Care Provider Directory

LA GRANGE, Ill. -- LTC News, a premier online destination for news and information on aging, caregiving, health, long-term care and retirement planning, announces the launch of an extensive online long-term care directory.

This new resource connects individuals and families to a host of quality long-term care providers across the country. The initial directory will include more than 75,000 listings spanning a wide range of care options. There are plans for directory expansion in the months ahead.

Users can explore listings for:

* Home Care Providers

* Adult Day Care Centers

* Assisted Living Facilities

* Memory Care Facilities

* Rehabilitation Centers

* Nursing Homes

* Group Homes

* Hospice Care Organizations

* Occupational Health Care Centers

"The LTC News caregiver directory bridges a significant gap and offers a comprehensive tool for families in search of the best care solutions," Matt McCann, president and CEO, LTC News, says.

This user-friendly directory allows people to conduct searches filtered by care type, distance and amenities. Unlike other platforms that might be restricted to specific care providers or require payment for access, LTC News provides a reliable, broad and inclusive tool for finding quality care options for free.

"There's a pressing demand for such a comprehensive service and LTC News has a solid reputation for providing resources to those seeking quality care solutions or help with planning for aging," McCann says.

As the aging population grows, so does the need for assistance with daily living activities and specialized care for conditions such as dementia. The LTC News directory serves as a crucial resource in these challenging times. It helps families search for caregiving support and facilities while also offering tools and resources to plan for the costs and challenges associated with aging.

The complete directory is accessible here: https://www.ltcnews.com/care.

Additionally, caregiver providers and facilities are invited to claim and enhance their listings at no cost. Additional enhancements can be added for a modest fee. Marketing and advertising options are available too.

McCann adds, "Securing access to quality care is vital for enhancing the quality of life for our aging population, whether it's for aging parents or for future personal needs. This directory is a significant step towards that goal."

LTC News has also combined efforts with Amada Senior Care, a leading in-home health care agency with locations throughout the country, to help individuals navigate long-term care insurance policies and claims. There is no cost or obligation for the service. Amada also assists with developing care plans and finding in-home care solutions.

Finally, the LTC News Cost of Care Calculator is an ideal tool that can help people to find the median cost of various long-term care services throughout the United States. It's also a good tool to use when designing a long-term care insurance policy.

About LTC News:

Established in 2015, LTC News serves as a digital hub, offering a wealth of information, tools and resources tailored for individuals aged 45 and above, as well as their families, as they navigate the evolving challenges of aging in the 21st century.

Empowered Aging Announces the ‘See Me. Hear Me.’ Campaign in Recognition of Elder Abuse Awareness Month

PLEASANT HILL, Calif. -- Today, Leading Bay Area nonprofit, Empowered Aging announces the launch of their Elder Abuse Awareness campaign, 'See Me. Hear Me.™' This movement is designed to shed light on the vulnerability of older adults and adults with disabilities living in long-term care facilities and in the community. For the month of June, the organization will be sharing stories of the people behind the cases that the Empowered Aging team takes on while preserving privacy.

"Our mission here at Empowered Aging is to ensure older adults and adults with disabilities are seen and heard every single day," said executive director Susannah Meyer. "This campaign is a testament to our person-centered advocacy and education that our programs offer in response to the critical issues of abuse and neglect our elders face."

According to research by the National Center on Elder Abuse, approximately one in ten Americans aged 60 and older have experienced some sort of elder abuse. They also estimate that nearly five million elders are abused each year. In another report, they share that only one in twenty-four elder abuse cases are reported to authorities. A 2009 report to the California State Senate Office of Oversight and Outcomes stated that 13% of all complaints to the CA Office of the State Long Term Care Ombudsman involved abuse, gross neglect, or exploitation - more than twice the national rate of 5%.

"With the dramatically rising numbers of the older adult population, and the growing demand for related resources and direct care support, we are concerned that more needs to be done to address the increased risk for elder and dependent adult abuse and neglect," Meyer continued. "As we work to expand our reach and the Empowered Aging team prepares to meet the rising needs further protecting the vulnerable population we serve, my team and I challenge everyone to join us by helping to raise awareness and bring the fight against abuse of older adults and adults with disabilities out of the shadows."

About Empowered Aging:

For over 50 years, Empowered Aging has provided critical, high-quality advocacy on behalf of residents living in long-term care through its Ombudsman programs. During those years, the organization has also evolved to meet the needs of our time that impact a vulnerable and vastly diverse senior community.

Today, Empowered Aging is uniting individuals, organizations, and communities together around a common mission, a shared vision, and a path forward to a stronger, more equitable journey in aging. The nonprofit's services and scope of work now additionally provides a Masters in Social Work Internship Program, Elder Justice and Friendly Visiting/Telephone Reassurance programs in Solano County, and the Healthcare Career Pathway (HCP) program - launched in Contra Costa County and recognized by the Governor as a pilot program of the Master Plan for Aging. HCP is currently expanding state-wide through a grant from the California Department of Health Care Access and Information to address the State's direct care workforce crisis.

While our organization has transformed over the years to address the challenges and changes in the world, one thing remains the same: our focus on improving and strengthening the lives of our elders.

Encounter Telehealth Awards ‘Certificates of Excellence in Mental Health Care’

OMAHA, Neb. -- Encounter Telehealth awarded their partner facilities 'Certificates of Excellence in Mental Health Care' for their perseverance and dedication to the mental health needs of their residents throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

"This past year has been wrought with unprecedented challenges and hurdles for the staff and residents of our senior living community partners," explains Jennifer Amis, President and CEO of Encounter Telehealth.

"Through everything, the care teams at these facilities have gone above and beyond to ensure the mental health and wellness for their residents. They truly deserve special commendation."

Depression and anxiety hit an all-time high for older adults amid the pandemic. Recent studies determined that 1 in 4 older adults have experienced depression and anxiety since the pandemic began. Lockdowns, loneliness, fear, and loss have contributed to a mental health epidemic in an already struggling population.

In 2020, throughout the pandemic, Encounter Telehealth conducted over 10,000 telehealth encounters for residents of senior care communities. The staff at these communities have embraced the Encounter Team as an extension of their own care teams. The collaboration between Encounter and their partner facilities has improved the mental health and quality of life for residents and staff members.

About Encounter Telehealth

Encounter Telehealth supports the mental and behavioral health needs of residents in senior care communities. Our services include psychiatric evaluations, medication management, mental health therapy for both residents and their family members, after hours care, and staff training. Our communities include skilled nursing facilities, assisted living, independent living, memory care, home health care, ICF/IID facilities, Veterans Homes, and corrections. Our patients receive specialized, evidence-based mental health care regardless of where they live.

QUOTES:

"Jenkins Living Center is located in Watertown, South Dakota -- a rural area in the northeastern corner of the state. Our community lacks the services of a psychiatrist, and scheduling visits with a clinical psychology would often take weeks before the resident could be seen. When we signed on with Encounter, we immediately saw an improvement in mental health services for our resident population. The telehealth psychologists that have served our facility have been extremely responsive whenever we have needed a consultation, and they are very engaged when visiting with our residents and staff. They thoroughly review the residents' medical records prior to visits and do an outstanding job of follow-up regarding efficacy of medications they have prescribed. Overall, the well-being of our residents who need mental health consultations has improved dramatically since we began to partner with Encounter," said Loren Dietman, President and CEO of Jenkins Living Center.

"The majority of our residents being followed by Encounter have had improved mental health. Behaviors have decreased, which has helped the environment for both the residents and employees. Residents' mental health is more stable," said Nicholas Guerrette, Administrator at Borderview Rehabilitation and Living Center.

JNL Technologies Launches Quantum SA Standalone Wander Management Control Unit

IXONIA, Wis. -- JNL Technologies, maker of Quantum nurse call, wander management, and access control systems, is now shipping Quantum SA, a standalone wander management system. Using the same proven Bluetooth technology as JNL's Quantum DCS product line, the Quantum SA does not require cable installation or the purchase of a Quantum server and is perfect for smaller areas that do not require centralized management.

"We are proud to release a version of our technology in a door monitor that doesn't require wire runs or a server to control it. The Quantum DCS has been installed in facilities across the country and works well in areas that other wander management systems fail due to old technology and interference issues," says JNL President, Jim Gleason. "We felt it was time to develop a cost effective, single door wander management control unit that can replace unreliable older systems."

To simplify installation, the Quantum SA controller provides industry standard input and output options, and in many cases, is a drop-in replacement. The controller and wander management transmitters are managed with a provided Android tablet. With the tablet, users are able to quickly adjust door settings, test transmitter batteries, and turn off unused transmitters.

According to Gleason, "We have always wanted to provide our wander management system to the entire market, and this allows us to do just that. To protect your investment, Quantum SA can be field upgraded when you are ready to transition to the full Quantum system."

The Quantum system is comprehensive and scalable and is designed to meet both budget and community size requirements. Due to this flexibility, Quantum has seen rapid adoption by facilities across the country. In an effort to meet this demand, JNL is actively recruiting new dealers.

Ombudsman Services Executive Director Named Woman of the Year by Congressman Garamendi

PLEASANT HILL, Calif. -- Ombudsman Services of Contra Costa, Solano and Alameda is pleased to announce that Executive Director Nicole Howell has been selected as a 2020 Woman of the Year by Congressman John Garamendi.

In an effort to recognize outstanding women serving in California's Third Congressional District, the Congressman annually invites individuals and organizations to submit nominations of those who have shown a commitment to improving quality of life through leadership and public service.

"This is a tremendous honor," Nicole said during the awards ceremony.

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, Nicole and the Ombudsman team took to the front lines to distribute personal protective equipment to over 15,000 residents in long-term care. She also participated in efforts for residents' rights by collaborating with local media and testifying on behalf of a movement of residents and their families at the House Ways and Means Health Subcommittee hearing "Examining the COVID-19 Nursing Home Crisis" on June 25. During the height of COVID-19, OSCCSA completed nearly 300 facility consultations and close to 200 individual consultations, providing vital information and resources throughout Alameda County.

"I want to accept this award on behalf of all those people who are fighting the fight for seniors right now, particularly those in long-term care," Nicole said. "Thank you so much. This is beyond what I could have dreamed."

As the Executive Director for Ombudsman Services of Contra Costa, Solano, and Alameda (OSCCSA), Nicole is responsible for ensuring that the nearly 29,000 long-term care residents and their families have access to the highest level of care and respect and, above all, can live free of abuse and neglect.

Since becoming Executive Director, Nicole has grown OSCCSA's budget by nearly 600%, lowered the use of anti-psychotics in Contra Costa County by 10%, and increased facility coverage by unearthing the problems and issues that are being overlooked. She has helped spearhead many new programs in Ombudsman Services and beyond, including the Elder Justice Program Solano, Telephone Reassurance, and Friendly Visiting in Solano County, as well as Healthcare Career Pathways and Residents' Rights in Contra Costa.

About Ombudsman Services of Contra Costa, Solano and Alameda:

Ombudsman Services is the only organization mandated by law to make unannounced visits to long-term care facilities to ensure that residents are free from abuse and are receiving quality care.
