have their entire practice in the extended care facility, are entirely focused on extended care and have had special training in care for acute and chronically ill patients.
The Physician will be your doctor only for your extended care facility stay. They will communicate with your Primary Care Phyisician and work with them and other specialists, as part of a team, to manage your care.
Your Physician will be briefed by your doctor and will study your records before you arrive. On your first day, they will meet with you and your family to get aquainted, talk about your care plan, and answer your questions.
We are on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Because we practice only in the extended care facility, we can be reached quickly when you a question or need special attention.
It is important and comforting to hear clear explanations and have questions answered promptly. Being a good communicator is part of being a good physician.
