Hartford Hospital and its affiliates provide a full spectrum of health care
for patients experiencing age related conditions. Our commitment to meet the
special needs of an aging population led to the development of innovative care
models in all of our Senior Services. For more information on Hartford Hospital
Senior Services call 860.545.7043.
More than half of the hospital's inpatient days are devoted to the care
of persons age 65 and older, and at Hartford Hospital we make sure the
special needs of elderly patients are thoughtfully and carefully managed.
Our geriatric team of physicians, nurses and other caregivers works
collaboratively with the entire hospital staff to assess and address the
special needs of older patients. As a result, every medical-surgical unit is
specially equipped to provide acute care for elders. Each patient benefits
from Hartford Hospital's team approach to geriatric care management. The
Geriatric Resource Nurse Program evaluates each patient to determine his or
her special needs, and participates in a team effort to address common
geriatric problems. There is a Geriatric Medicine Consultation Service
available to assist in the evaluation and management of more complex
problems.
Collectively, these geriatric resources assist the medical-surgical teams
and the care coordinators in the coordination of care that is needed from
acute care in the hospital to rehabilitation and convalescence in the
community.
