The SeniorBridge Blog

Eric C. Rackow, M.D. President & CEO

I am very pleased to introduce the SeniorBridge blog. SeniorBridge is dedicated to managing the care of people at home.

Founded in 2000 and with offices throughout the United States, our company’s unique approach addresses the total well-being of clients and their families through a comprehensive program that includes assessment, planning, service coordination, advocacy, and direct care by an interdisciplinary team led by a geriatric care manager.

Our professionals include highly trained and experienced licensed social workers, licensed nurses, exercise and nutrition experts and certified in-home caregivers. This highly skilled team coordinates care with the client’s physician(s) so that medical problems are fully assessed and addressed. The full range of services is personalized according to the level of need and preference. The SeniorBridge program is especially beneficial for people with complex problems, chronic medical illnesses, or memory disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease; those who require close oversight and coordination of care.

Without the type of care offered by SeniorBridge, people with chronic conditions would be placed in nursing homes, dementia units or other types of long-term care institutions. SeniorBridge provides the needed care outside of such institutions, thereby enabling people to live safely in the comfort of their own homes.

SeniorBridge care is based on an integrated practice model. By coordinating the multiple disciplines needed to ensure the proper medical, social, functional and support needs of the client, SeniorBridge provides the highest quality of care. Our goal is to ensure the best quality of life for each of our clients.

Please let us know how we can be of assistance to you or a member of your family. I hope you will find our blog useful as a resource for understanding long-term care.
