At The Tunnell Center, we take an interdisciplinary approach to care. Our dedicated team of caregivers meets with new patients and their families within 24 hours of admission and regularly up until discharge. The team consists of a registered nurse, case manager, social worker, dietitian, activities assistant, physical therapist and/or occupational therapist who continuously review the patient’s plan of care. The goal of all of us at Tunnell is to provide a comfortable and pleasant environment for our patients and residents, while consistently providing the highest level of care.
We are improving our clinical capabilities and staffing in order to accept patients with greater medical complexity than a traditional nursing home. This is increasingly important as many higher acuity patients require transitional care before they are ready to return home.
Our patients benefit from:
- An interdisciplinary clinical team to provide a comprehensive approach to patients’ needs
- Room reservation prior to surgery through our Reservation Program, providing a more seamless transfer from the hospital
- Easy admission, with patients accepted 24/7 even during holidays
- On-site case management services, providing patient education and support for transition home
- Consistent reporting and tracking in patient satisfaction and quality outcomes, demonstrating our dedication to continual improvement
- Access to therapy up to seven days a week
- Clinical experience and best practices leveraged from our national network of Kindred facilities
- Comprehensive patient and family education
- Access to rehabilitation therapy up to seven days a week
