During this discovery period, she found that Care Transitions was exactly what she was looking for: an organization committed to finding ways to help seniors.

While completing her MBA, Victoria Archable, worked for several large corporations through the 80s and 90s including Proctor & Gamble, Purina and Pillsbury. Several years later she decided to relocate to Atlanta and began the process of finding a company where she could combine her past sales experience with her desire to help the senior population. “CarePatrol, a free senior housing placement service that helps families find independent living, assisted living, memory care and in-home care options”, did just that. Victoria shares that CarePatrol “trains its advisors to help families to help themselves. Training and passion is what separates CarePatrol from other placement services”.

CarePatrol’s success is built on personalized, face-to-face, service. Their advisors meet with each client during the “CareDiscovery” process to help identify the most appropriate communities and personally tour those communities as an advocate for the family assuring that the right issues are discussed. Afterwards, the advisor meets again with the family to lend assistance through the decision-making process. Once the client has moved into a facility, or services have begun in the home, the advisor continues to check with the client to assure continued satisfaction. Recent studies have shown that CarePatrol services can have a dramatic effect on readmission rates, reducing them by as much as 45%. Personalized service, combined with cost effectiveness, results in a win-win situation.

“Helping seniors and their families is a way to give back to the community and a gift of new life”. If you’re interested in this cost effective, personalized placement service, check out CarePatrol’s web site at: www.CarePatrol.com or call Victoria Archable at 404-625-8177

The Art of Recovery

00:00 / 00:34:34

Dr. Alan Wang graduated from the University of Kentucky, and did his medical training at Emory. After 15 years working in the hospital setting, Dr. Wang became associated with Salude to “reform transitional care within the outpatient environment”. Salude is unlike any outpatient recovery center in the country, in that its “100% dedicated to recovery services”; there is no long term care practiced. Every patient must meet specific criteria and be able to participate in at least 3 hours of intense therapy per day, 7 days per week. Ninety-eight percent of Salude’s patients return home within an average of three weeks as a result of this regiment. “The recovery environment plays an equally important part in a patients recovery”, shared Wang. “I truly believe that the recovery is an art in which the care environment plays a pivotal role in the recovery process.”

Salude, which opened in June of 2014, is a state of the art, 46,600 square-foot facility. It offers a serene, private setting paired with a clinical and customer-service experience not generally found in health care facilities. With 64 upscale, private rooms and bathrooms; a 3,000 square-foot rehab area; 24/7 room service; on-site chef-prepared cuisine; wooded outdoor space with walking paths; fully equipped wireless technology; and award winning art displays and sculptures, “It’s more like a luxury hotel,” Wang explains. “How can we help our patients have a near perfect experience when it comes to details? Because we believe that’s part of the recovery process.” Surprisingly all of this is provided at greater cost efficiencies than inpatient care.

“Don’t Be Afraid to Talk with the Doc” - The Longstreet Clinic on Eugeria! Radio!

00:00 / 00:33:20

Dr. Jeffrey Garrett, MD, an orthopedic surgeon, joined The Longstreet Clinic (TLC) in early 2015. Originally from the Pacific Northwest, Dr. Garrett attended medical school at East Carolina University, completing his residency at Wake Forest University and a fellowship in orthopedic trauma at Tampa General Hospital. His specialty is joint replacement, specifically hip replacement. Margaret Spratlin, a native Georgian, has been in the medical profession her entire career and joined TLC in 2014. Both acknowledged that TLC’s strong leadership of CEO Mimi Collins, and their centralized administration allow the physicians and health care practitioners “focus on the patients, not paperwork”.

A new innovated surgical procedure, anterior approach hip replacement, has Dr. Garrett very excited about post-operative outcomes. This procedure inflicts far less trauma to the large muscle groups which greatly improves the recovery time. Many patients are up walking within 24 hours of the surgery and home the next day. Dr. Garrett says, “Patients just recover better if they are in their own home and surroundings!” Though the idea of being discharged so soon after major surgery can be scary, Dr. Garrett believes that it’s really the fear of the unknown that has to be addressed. “It’s an educational process; speaking in a language that is easily understood. Don’t be afraid to talk with the doc.” Data suggests that the number of joint replacements will double in the next twenty years. Dr. Garrett and The Longstreet Clinic coupled with the anterior approach hip replacement procedure is well positioned “to deliver more efficient and high quality medical care in a changing environment.”
