Programs for Healthy Living

Senior Exercise Program
The Diamond team shares a passion and commitment to helping our senior citizen population take an active role in both their overall health and well being. In our Healthy Living Program, under the direction of Physicial Therapist we provide a group exercise program in the assisted living on a weekly basis. Strength and range of motion are important factors in keeping senior independent with their activites of daily living. Exercises are specifically designed to meet the needs of the senior community so they have no difficulty performing them.

Fall Prevention
This program offers quarterly screening of all residents who wish to participate. The goal is to identify residents who are at risk for accidents such as falls due to changes in strength, range of motion and/or cognition. Evaluation and treatment may be recommended by the Physical and Occupational Therapist to improve function and safety. Diamond Home Care will work with Medicare and other insurance companies when seniors are appropriate for this intensive individualized program.

Morning Current Events
Diamond team members will work with the activites department to provide stimulating conversation and socialization with morning current events. This program is designed in conjunction with an occupational therapist with the goal to keep seniors oriented to date, facility activities and current local/world happenings.

Healthy Living Program
Having a consistent healthcare worker interacting with seniors in the facility can lead to identification of potential health risks in residents. Diamond Home Care will dedicate a nurse to coordinate wellness and preventative activities in the facility. On a monthly basis this nurse will provide a blood pressure screening and be available for resident's questions or concerns regarding their health. If the resident chooses they can act as a liaison with physician and family.

Community Education and Resources
The team of Diamond Home Care has extensive training and resources in the management of care for the senior population. On a quarterly basis informative programs will be held for the facility residents and their families with a focus on preventative care, healthy habits and strategies for aging safely in his/her home. Outside guest speakers as well as Diamond team members will share their knowledge and expertise.
