A complete Care Team to support participants and their families

Summit ElderCare provides an entire Care Team of experts who specialize in geriatrics. They have expertise in taking care of older adults and aim to improve participants' health by preventing and treating diseases and disabilities.

This Care Team works closely with the participant, their family, and their caregivers to understand what the participant's health care needs are and how best to meet them. They also get to know the participant as a person, not only a patient.

Members of the Care Team may include:

  • Primary care providers (physicians and nurse practitioners)
  • Site director
  • Behavioral health specialists
  • Nurses (primary care and home care health)
  • Social workers
  • Health aides
  • Nutritionists
  • Home health care aides
  • Transportation coordinators
  • Rehabilitation staff (physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists)
  • Recreational therapy staff

Participants and their families have ongoing access to the Care Team, including 24-hour coverage in emergency situations.

Stay as independent as possible

Working with each participant and their family, the Care Team’s goal is to help program participants be as independent as possible, for as long as possible.

For example, if more help is needed at home, the Care Team may arrange or provide services such as:

  • Help with bathing, dressing, meal preparation, light housekeeping, and other activities
  • Nursing, rehabilitation, and other medical care
  • Safety evaluations
  • Emergency response systems

Memory specialist

Through a collaboration with the Massachusetts chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association, Summit ElderCare participants and their caregivers have access to a dedicated memory specialist. The memory specialist provides coaching and education on a wide variety of dementia-related issues and develops a guide that is tailored to the needs of each family. The memory specialist works closely with the Care Team and provides care recommendations and interventions as needed.
