At Uniting Agewell, regular health monitoring is essential to ensure every resident’s well-being. Our daily vital checkup service is designed to be proactive, helping identify potential health issues early and maintaining stable health through constant monitoring.

1. Routine Vital Assessments

• Key Parameters Monitored:
  • Blood Pressure: Regular monitoring to detect hypertension or hypotension, preventing strokes or other cardiovascular issues.
  • Heart Rate: Keeping track of pulse rates helps identify irregularities like arrhythmias or signs of stress.
  • Oxygen Saturation (SpO2): Ensures that oxygen levels remain adequate, especially critical for residents with respiratory conditions.
  • Temperature: Detecting fevers early to identify possible infections.
  • Blood Sugar (for diabetic residents): Monitoring glucose levels to manage diabetes effectively.

2. Technology-Enabled Monitoring

• Digital Records: Each resident's vital signs are logged digitally for quick access and analysis by medical professionals.
• Smart Monitoring Devices: Some residents may have wearable health trackers that provide continuous data, allowing early alerts for abnormal patterns.
• Remote Consultations: If needed, we coordinate with telehealth services to connect residents with doctors remotely.

3. Early Detection and Preventative Care

• Preventing Hospital Visits: Early identification of trends (like rising blood pressure) allows for quick interventions, reducing the need for hospitalizations.
• Medication Adjustments: Health data guides adjustments in medication dosages, ensuring the most effective care.
• Monitoring Recovery: For residents recovering from surgery or illness, daily vital checks track their progress.

4. Communication and Family Updates

• Health Alerts: Any concerning results are immediately reported to on-site healthcare staff and the resident’s doctor.
• Family Notifications: Families are kept informed about significant health developments to ensure transparency and involvement.
• Collaborative Care: Our team coordinates with external healthcare providers to ensure continuity of care.
